Well said. I hope that Mr Harper doesn’t try to dismantle popular Canadian social programs as that most likely would not fly and is far too draconian. However, economic and foreign policy may very likely be steered in another direction. Most of all, I hope that Mr Harper is sensitive enough to political realities to allow him to make wise choices in his appointments and development of new initiatives. I look for more Canadian money spent on defense for sure and more discussion on trade issues of importance.

You have an optimistic outlook. Good luck, Canada. The road ahead could be a little bumpy but maybe not.
