Democracy certainly has failed us! 40% wanted Harper, 60% did not but he will now rule "his way"! Cretien used to brag about his four majorities as well, but the percentages were not with him either. Nobody in power ever wants to change a system that may limit their control. Some voted for Harper believing crap about him being able to fix the economy. The day after his election the stock market fell like a rock on a day that it showed a gain south of the border. Go figure!
