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.
