We are trying to get used to mouthing "Prime Minister Harper" in preparation for the Liberal Party doomsday next Tuesday morning. Yes, on Monday, we Canadians snow-shoe to the election polls to elect a new government. It looks like the New Conservatives under Harper are assured of at least a minority government - with a good shot at a majority. ( Read more... )

I do blieve that anything short of a Liberal majority will mean the demise of Martin and many of the Chretien era chronies (The Grateful Dead). Martin has been everthing he was not supposed to be as a PM - proof that from the top one can only fall far and hard.

Vastly preferable to a Conservative majority would be a minority Liberal government at the mercy of a Conservative or NDP coaltion - such a scenario would help the country stay the course without opening cans of worms that really do not need to be opened.

I am optimistic that the Liberal Party will be smart enough to flush Martin and gang following this election to give Canadians a fresh new voice.

I'm afraid it's too late for a late comeback in the polls. Two days ago, at 42%, the Conservatives looked close to a majority. But today (Friday) they're down again to 37%. That still smells of a Harper minority.

That will be OK as it will be easier to dump Martin and 'The Grateful Dead', clean house properly and rebound with McKenna or Ignatieff in 2 years.

If Harper gets a majority, be prepared to convert to Christianity - and marry the girl next door.
