Besides, the Conservatives have a very slim majority, so they won't be able to force any crazy legislation without the support of at least one or two orther parties, who are all more to the left. I think Canada will be better off in the long run, even though Harper is Bush North.
In actuality, the Conservatives have only a minority govt. not a majority, not even a "slim majority". That means the govt. can be defeated at anytime and we can have another election in just a few months. The longest a minority govt. has held power is always less than 2 years.

Don't be so sure that the Conservatives aren't as corrupt as the Liberals. They're all corrupt and if they aren't (the less popular parties), they soon will be as the corporate giants get their fingers in the pie. In my mind, it the corporate sector that runs the country and the politicians are just puppets.

Harper as Bush north - it will be interesting to see how CDN/Am. relations change over the next few months.
