unlikely to place much emphasis on moral issues. He has promised a free Cheap reebok shoes,on whether to repeal gay marriage legislation, but is unlikely to touch the abortion law. In foreign policy, he will offer warmer relations with Mr Bush, but has otherwise been vague.
His hope will be that after 18 months, he can go to the country again to secure a majority. That is what another Conservative leader from the west, John Diefenbaker, managed in 1958. If he succeeds, Canadian politics may then move more sharply to the right.
Two things will help Mr Harper. After two elections in less than two years, Canadia kobe 6 grinch, are unlikely to welcome another soon. So the opposition parties will be reluctant to bring the government down.
Second, the Liberals will be preoccupied with their own problems. Despite their successful economic management, they were punished by voters because they were seen as having grown too comfortable with the perquisites of okobe 6 grinch,e. Mr Martin, an effective finance minister, was a disappointing prime minister.
The Liberals will hope a spell in opposition will allow them to repair a fata Cheap reebok shoes,feud between Mr Martin's supporters and those of his predecessor, Jean Chrétien. In a dignified speech after a campaign that was unusually dirty by Canadian standards, Mr Martin announced on election night that he would step down as leader.
One contender for the job is Frank McKenna, a former premier of New Brunswick who resigned on January 25th as Canada's ambassador in Washington, DC.
