Canadian Conservatives Put Smile on Bush's Face!

You may have seen the ad that the Canadian Liberal Party was running days before Canada's Parliamentary election on January 23rd. Here's the text:

From Life Site News: In one, a woman's voice says, "Canada may elect the most pro-American leader in the Western world. Harper is pro-Iraq war, anti-Kyoto and socially conservative. Bush's new best friend is the poster boy for his ideal foreign leader. A Harper victory will put a smile on George W. Bush's face."

And Bush and Americans tired of Canadian liberals insults are all smiling tonight! The Canadian Broadcasting Company called the race for the Conservative Party near 10 PM EST (results here).

No more petty name calling from Canadian government ministers (Bush= "stupid" "moron" "coward"). The new government leader, Mr. Harper pledged during the campaign to end the U.S. bashing that poisoned the relationship with our neighbor to the north.

After the election of Angela Merkel, the new conservative Chancellor of Germany, the selection of Stephen Harper, 46, a young dynamic leader with strong conservative views is bound to annoy liberals in the United States that find fewer and fewer anti-Bush governments to validate their moonbatism.

The election of Harper is also a partial repudiation of the socialist experiment that the Liberal Party has imposed on Canada these last twelve years. Canadian columnist Mark Steyn pointed out that the detainees at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba get better health care than most Candadians.

Since Harper's Conservatives haven't achieved an outright majority of seats in the new Parliament. It's unlikely that any huge change in government policy will be immediate.

But as every political pro will tell you "a win is a win." And tonight, Canadian conservatives won and President Bush and fellow conservatives in this country are all smiling.
