I do believe that Canadian Conservatives have a chance against the scandal-plagued Liberals now.

Go get'em, neighbor! Take no prisoners!

I confess I don't know much about this race, other than that Belinda is an heiress who hangs out with Clinton, but just from Harper's quotes, he sounds a lot more articulate than she is.

One of Clinton's ex-girlfriends (a major CINO from the old "Progressive Conservative"/Mulroney gang) has been defeated big time. Good news from above Champlain for a change.

I can't imagine how much of a conservative she can be if she hangs out with Clintigula.

Yes indeed, we have just finished paying $29,242 for a new dining room carpet for Rideau Hall because of red wine stains caused by the Governor General's guests.

Good lord, let me guess, they want nothing but the best, most expensive, carpets?

Well, if that's true, she's obviously picked the wrong Democrat. Musta got Bubba confused with Lurch.

The story was that Belinda is Clinton's girlfriend.

It was a bad joke on my part. I was taking a shot at Clinton's behaviour in the Oval Office with a different girlfriend.

"There's going to be a takeover," he told the 1,500 assembled party members. "The Conservatives taking over the government of Canada, that's what we're doing."

Sounds like a good plan.

This is the best news Canada has gotten in a long, LONG time. Harper is a totaly relatable, middle class guy who has a fantastic grasp of the issues and personal integrity out the wazoo. The media is now saying that a Conservative minortity government is a possibility, but I think that's a given and a MAJORITY government is within reach with this leader.

It's interesting that the timing of leadership race and the expected election has created what is esentially a Primary Race like the US has.

The creation of the new Conservative Party is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take our shared conservative values and make them the driving force of Canadian politics. I have spent a lifetime fighting for these values. In my years with the PC Party, Reform, and the Canadian Alliance, I have always stood for:

Free enterprise and fiscal responsibility;
Accountability in government and democratic reform;
Individual freedom and personal responsibility;
Traditional values and sustainable social programs;
Strong criminal justice and a strong national defence.

Stephen Harper, his wife Laureen, and children Ben and Rachel, enjoy a day out in Bowness Park in Calgary.

I've got news for all you dreamers...with the exception of Mike Harris, just about every Canadian politician has a left wing streak in them. They are all destined to continue wallowing in their self made cesspool of social engineering. I'd be suprised to see Harper not cater to the left in some way.

Got news for you , Mike has a right left wing too . Or is that a left right wing?

Clive, I heard the carpet was $92,000, A special weave that would stop the pink socked footman as he totters around in high heels from snagging a thread .

And why is everyone so eager to give Clinton so much credit ? For doing nothing. There is no evidence, unless one considers the grocery store rags a source of credible news , that Stronach ever had anything more than a passing casual relationship with Clinton . I didn't support her but this kind of crappy innuendo is just that . Crappy innuendo.

Stronach did a hell of a service for the CPC by running , isn't stupid , has won her nomination in Newmarket and hopefully will be around for a long time .

Very good choice.

Harper will make a fine prime minister of Canada after the upcoming Canadian election.
