Did Ottawa infect Harper and his Government?
So why aren't the Tories poised on the brink of a Mulroneyesque majority? Maybe, Weston suggests, because "while voters liked his decisiveness and willingness to take a stand on difficult issues, they have not always been comfortable with the actual stand he has taken."I guess no matter who's sent there, they ultimately turn into LIEberals. Hell, it ain't global warming, it's a pandemic in that area, they fry all their brain cells. Some sites, in that country called Canada, have already removed the Alberta flag from their images(the flag banner). We may not have to leave, they may be giving us the boot ..... Coooooooooool!
Over at the Toronto Star, James Travers acknowledges the "philosophical consistency" in the governing of a "distinctly different breed of Canadian conservative." But while he hands down high marks to Harper for sticking to his convictions, Travers suggests the Tories are hampered by "ideological domestic and foreign policy decisions that particularly worry Ontario and Quebec voters about what Harper would do with unfettered power."
The Star's Richard Gwyn, mind you, would beg to differ. "Stephen Harper [is] a conservative," he writes. "His government is a genuinely conservative one. Or he was, and it was, conservative. He and it, are now rapidly morphing into a liberal government."

Update: They've now updated the graphic to include the Alberta flag.(h/t to ThePolitic). Damn .. Canada looked so good without us.
