Re: Goodbye Stephen H., or more arrogance?
This October's election, you'll recall, was called by Harper because he thought he could secure a majority, not because the opposition parties (who could have brought down the minority government with a no-confidence vote on any "found" reason at any time) chose to force the issue.

Re: Goodbye Stephen H., or more arrogance?
Harper's not very good at Canadian politics. He bet on a majority and lost. He bet on getting his financial proposals passed and lost. Is it time for the Conservatives to look for another leader and if so who are the candidates? I'd like Jason Kenney, of course, he's always good for some gobsmacking quotes.

Re: Goodbye Stephen H., or more arrogance?
i think Harper's decision not to immediatly introduce subsidies is spot on.
The enemy of the free market is government intervention..Adam Smith's invisible hand and all that.
The opposition is playing the exact card that escalated the whole economic crisis in the first place..specualtion. Let's drive up the fear factor so the loser's can get power. It is no way in the best interests of the country.
