He does have a real mandate from Canadians......his is the ONLY national party, and aside from the Separatists, who wish simply to destroy us, he holds a clear majority.
Only national party? I think you will find that there are three national parties in Canada. If he held a clear majority, he wouldn't be facing defeat.
It is extremely obvious whom Canadians want to lead them........(Separatists are Quebecois, not Canadians.....just ask them) It is obvious whom Canadians want to lead them.....and that is Harper and the CPC.
Last I heard, Quebec was still part of Canada.
