I dont see it being TOO BAD...I mean the conservatives are the minority gov't.. the other parties will be well involved as well... So its not like the Conservatives will get away with everything.....and like Genie said, in no time we will see who they really are and we will have to go into elections again...its funny but the West has overcome the East...well more like TORONTO. I think thats what the rest of Canadas likes about the Conservatives they are not a torontonian party,....

Conservatives are not gonna be any better than the Liberals. I'm with you on this one. I read an article a few days ago about how the white house was keeping a lid on their support for the conservatives because they didn't want to openly say they wanted harper for fear of scaring canadians. it's just a matter of time now before he starts doing away with abortion and gay rights... everything the liberals did... scary times ahead ppl.
