Unfortunately, it is a minority Conservative government for Canada.
One small step…

The interesting part is that a possible ‘coalition’ of two parties that would have a majority of votes in Parliament would be the Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois. (124 and 51 seats [at present] = 175 seats [155 seats for a majority vote])

The BQ is a Quebec ‘separatist-type’ party while the present iteration of the Conservative party has its roots in Alberta. The Conservatives are not in any way a Separatist party, but there are some in Alberta that wish to cut the rest of Canada from us.

Here’s Canada’s equivalent of Drudge:

Hey ksquared

That is good news out of Canada. Maybe President Bush will have an ally with Harper. Prime Minister Martin seamed to try to pick a fight with the White House whenever he could. And it's nice to see him gone. The Conservatives do not have a majority so it will be tough. I wish the best for them.
