Could go either way.
I don't really see a need for an election - just a waste of money, however, I am fairly sick of Harper because I feel that he has abandonned Central Canada. My opinion of him is that he is the kind of guy who figures that if it is not black goo that you dig out of the ground in Alberta, then he's not interested.
Case in point Nortel. Now, everyone knows that it was a hugely fucked up company mgt. wise, however, at the end of the day, they were the biggest single R n D company in Canada by far. They could have been salvaged if a determined effort was made. Harper did nothing and let it be parted out and sold off in bits to foreign companies. Gone forever. thousands of Engineers and Scientists laid off. Talent lost.
Now, ask yourself, if that was Syncrude - would Harper have done the same thing?
Never in a million years.
He reminds me of Diefenbaker and the Avro Arrow.
I can't stand his short sightedness.
