Now now, be fair. Harper is terrifying and has cold, dead eyes. The belt of power is slim, however, and I thank the lord above for multiple parties, because if he tries to put through anything very extreme, Liberal + NPD moves to block. It's JUST like Hollywood Squares.
I expect the Conservatives will be in for something of a reality check when they start trying to do things and realise that the resources are not there. No, you can't send 2200 people to Iraq because we DON'T HAVE 2200 PEOPLE TO SEND.
However. I believe in a healthy lack of trust, and if that means being overly pessimistic, instead of overly optimistic, I'll take it. I'm interested in a lot of mail being sent about how many people voted Conservative to punish the Liberals, and I think that's true. Consequently, people are watching the Conservatives very closely which, as far as I'm concerned, is precisely as closely as they should be watched at all times.
