Go Canada

Returning to my Canada as model conservative country point:

The Telegraph today ran a story in which it argued that of all the world leaders meeting at the G8 Summit in Japan, only Canada's Stephen Harper really has a popular and successful record in office.

Let's look at Harper's accomplishments: he's cut
taxes, reduced the deficit, had Canada for first time in recent memory really step up to the plate on the world front (notably in Afghanistan), has resisted left-wing pressure on the Kyoto Treaty, and has generally been a competent manager following years of Liberal corruption.

Thus, with the US preparing to lurch to the left with the Obamessiah, this might finally be Canada's chance to finally become a proper, grown-up country, fully assuming its position on the world stage.
