Canadian Election

Canada has elected a Conservative minority government after 12 years of Liberal rule. It's been a dramatic ride for the conservatives, starting with the fall of the Progressive Conservative party, the rise of the Reform party, the Liberal majority, the forming of the Conservative party, and now the recent election results. The Tories have 124 seats, just 21 more than the Grits. This small margin will force Harper to work closely with the Liberals, who could easily team with the NDP or Bloc to force another election. I'd be surprised if they lasted 18 months in this political climate.
