Make no mistake: Harper knows what he's doing. I've yet to see anything to the contrary. Despite my disagreeing with his party's policies, I give him a lot of credit. Right now he's probably the shrewdest politician in North America.
I'm truly frightened by a Tory majority. And with the circus that's unfolding south of the border, another Republican president on top of that will make me even more uneasy...especially if their terms coincide. *Shudder*
