Ignatieff is the favourite. Dryden might of been a good choice if he had a bit more experience.  Joe Fontana was rumoured to be running, but he decided against it...his 20+ years in local and federal politics would have been a plus.Only other choice would be Dalton McGuinty.Otherwise, the Liberals are in trouble. Whomever is picked won't stand a chance against Harper as they will be unproven. Harper will win the next election in a majority.

Stephen Harper is simply trying to push ideas that he thinks you should want, while maintaining a tenuous hold on power. \n\nHarper and a lot of his policy advisors have spend a lot of their time planning for this dramatic shift to Prairie values. They've spent almost a decade and a half building their ire, saying "if I was in power, I would...". All the while in their regionalistic Reform/Alliance/Conservative party shifts and they want to prove their ideas. I wouldn't vote for the guy - but I believe he honesty believes his ideas are better. \n\nThe taxing of Income trusts looks like a move to keep the 60% or so of the progressive/leftist part of the House of Commons slightly pleased with him. The reduction of the GST seems like he's trying to prove to voters that he'll really save them money. I guess paying up to 15% sales tax in some parts of the country is kind of lame - but so is making miniscule changes just to look like you're doing something. If he really wanted to change things a major reduction or elimination of the GST would be welcomed. Other than that, why bother splitting hairs?\n\nHarper's economic policy will (in hindsight) be the result of being pulled in two opposite directions. He must balance his truly small-c conservative fiscal ideas and having to appease the Liberals, Bloc Quebecois, & NDP - who are thankfully are (as a whole - not individually) pretty good watchdogs for the little guy.

Canada is a country occupying the northern portion of North America, and is the world's second largest country in total area.\n\nOriginally inhabited exclusively by aboriginal peoples, Canada was founded as a union of British colonies, some of which had earlier been French colonies. A federal dominion of ten provinces with three territories, Canada peacefully obtained sovereignty from its last colonial possessor, the United Kingdom, in a process beginning in 1867 with its formation and ending in 1982 when Canada gained the authority to amend its own constitution.\n\nCanada is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. Canada's head of state is its monarch, who is represented in Canada by the Governor General. The head of government is the Prime Minister.\n\nCanada defines itself as a bilingual and multicultural nation. Both English and French are official languages. In the early 1970s, Canada began to adopt policies based on the concepts of cultural diversity and multiculturalism. Many Canadians now view this as one of the country's key attributes.\n\nA technologically advanced and industrialized nation, Canada is a net exporter of energy because of its large fossil fuel deposits, nuclear energy generation, and hydroelectric power capacity. Its diversified economy relies heavily on an abundance of natural resources and trade, particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship, one which can be described as the strongest trade partnership in history.\n\nCapital Ottawa\n45°24′ N 75°40′ W \nLargest city Toronto \nOfficial language(s) English and French \nGovernment \n\n\nPopulation 32.4 million (37th)

Canada is so new, it can't be the first multicultural country. You should study the past empires.

Candidate C sounds like Adolph Hitler.  I think A might be Churchill.  B, I'm not too sure.\nPersonally, I would wonder about the democratic processes in this country.

Hey! How about a son of a Prime Minister, who prevents his father from causing global mayhem? ;-)\n\nHe could be like a secret superhero (or a govt. spy or something) unknown to both his father and the world. And you could make his father seem a total buffoon. That would be hilarious and not very far from current world scenarios! What say?\n\nBut of the above mentioned choices, no.5 is undoubtedly the best.

Harper was brave enough to state the "Québécois" form a nation within a united Canada...(pls note that he did not say "Québec" formed a nation). Although i'm no where close to being a conservative fan, i do respect that he put down such a motion on the floor for debate. \n\nSeriously, you have to pay attention to the wording...had Harper said that Quebec formed a nation, the the Bloc would have shut up and agreed...but that isn't the case people...

It so is.\n\nMr. Harper and Mr. Bush are both operating from the same faith-based conservative political standpoint, and so, they've got a lot to agree on. The federal budget also shows the cut of $2 billion over 5 years from the environmental programs of the past liberal government, which were geared towards adapting Canada even more to the Kyoto protocal. As it ever so happens, Harper is passing off the protocal in favor of a "made-in-Canada" approach. Atleast he's not dismissing it all togeather like our neighbors to the south. \n\nOn top of that is the recent agreements pretaining to soft-wood lumber, which in the long run will favor America as opposed to upholding fair trade.\n\nHarper and Bush are just two peas in a pod.

Canada has a lot of oil. According to all the liberals, that is the only reason Bush invaded Iraq, so it makes sense that Canada would be next. Plus it's closer to home.
