We are in for bad days if the Conservatives under Harper win... while many in Canada would welcome their brand of fiscal conservatism the vast majority would not stand for their social conservatism...

What you've just described (in terms of a Martin minority with the NDP) is what I am fervently hoping will happen. With Liberal support in the polls falling, and Conservative support rising, I'm beginning to get a little worried about the Conservatives overtaking the Liberals.... they say they've changed, but I can remember their ultra-conservative stance on social issues during their short-lived stunt as the Canadian Alliance.
In my opinion, they will need to work *very* hard to erase that image to appeal more to the fiscal conservatives who have more moderate views on social issues.
