CANADIAN ELECTIONS

Harper Leads Canada's
Conservative Party to
Election Victory
Jan. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Stephen Harper led Canada's
Conservatives to their first national election win in
18 years, seizing on voter anger with the ruling
Liberal Party.
Paul Martin stepped down as Liberal leader after
conceding defeat.
The Conservative Party won 125 seats in the
House of Commons, compared with 103 seats for the
Liberals, according to preliminary results from
Elections Canada today.
Harper fell short of the 155 seats needed for a
majority government, forcing him to seek support
from opposition parties to deliver on plans to cut
taxes, slow government spending and scrap a
national day-care program.

THE NATIONAL DAYCARE PROGRAM HAS BEEN
THE HOME OF MONEY THAT HAD BEEN PROMISED
TO DAYCARES FOR 10 YEARS...
THE DAYCARES ARE STILL WAITING.
THE LIBERALS THOUGHT WE WOULD WAIT FOR
EVER TOO.
