I for one am excited for the upcoming election. While it is wrong to underestimate the Liberal party at any time, I think that by the time this election is over you will see the Liberals smashed into the ground. The Liberal version of 1990s conservatives. For too long the Liberal Party has decided they know what is best for us. Their legacy is big government, compromised freedom of speech, compromised property rights, and compromised federalism.
The downside is that I do not see a Conservative majority as being successive. While I commend Stephen Harper on slowly selling Canadians the "right side of things", I believe the Canadian right currently lacks the grassroots activism, media influence, and academic atmosphere that the American right or Canadian left has. I hope that changes. I hope Stephen Harper is successful with his top down strategy of selling the conservatism to Canadians. But the left in Canada is still a titan in activism, journalism, and academia; a goliath to our David.
