And some from the "east": Cheryl Gallant (possibly the most conservative member in the House), Scott Reid, Pierre Poilievre, Guy Lauzon, Gord Brown...all staunch conservatives from Ontario. (Not to mention many in the provincial legislature like Jim Flaherty, Frank Klees, John Baird and Tim Hudak)
Speaking of the west, freepers should like this guy:

On the list of things Canada has that the US should care about:
- Alberta Oil Sands
- Unlimited supply of fresh water
- "The Canada-U.S. trade relationship is the largest ever to exist between two nations. Two-way trade in goods and services between Canada and the United States during 2000 was estimated at approximately C$700 billion, or almost C$2.0 billion per day."
- "Canada has been the leading foreign export market for U.S. goods since 1946."
- Alberta Oil Sands
- Unlimited supply of fresh water
Did I mention the Alberta oil sands?
I think there is a great, silent majority up there who have pretty much given up on politics. But if they don't re-engage, and quickly, they aren't going to have a country left.
The conservatives need some really great marketing.
