Looks like the Bush-friendly Harper government is about to leave in the wake of the economic meltdown.
The only reason the Conservative Party led by Harper was ever able to gain power as a minority is because the opposition to it was divided. In the wake of Liberal Party arrogance and scandal (see "Sponsorship scandal" HERE), it's standing sank, creating an opening for the Conservatives to slip in with only 36% of the vote in early 2006.
In recent elections, the Conservatives seemed to maintain the minority government. But the economic crisis has overtaken Canada too. Conservative reluctance to pass economic stimulus appears to have driven former enemy opposition parties--Liberal, New Democratic, and Bloc Qu?b?cois--into coalition to put an end to Harper's regime.
