Conservatives have won the election in Canada tonight and will lead that nation’s government for the first time in thirteen years. A marked change in Canadian politics will ensue.
Conservatives have pledged to diminish some of the bureaucratic regulations on Canada’s social programs as well as cut taxes and return greater power back to the nation’s provinces and territories. These reforms will be a boon to Canada’s economy and subsequently the commercial trade with the United States, which already amounts to $1.5 billion a day.
Moreover, a Prime Minister Harper will mean a Canada more congenial and attentive to American concerns than the previous government. You can expect an end to the Canadian sniping on matters such as Kyoto and Iraq, as well as one more hospitable to the idea of joining the U.S. missile defense plan.
Most importantly, Harper and his fellow Conservatives have expressed a desire to strengthen border security and make it tougher for terrorists to use the U.S.-Canadian border as an entry point into this country(a similar desire from the Mexican government would be real nice as well). Terrorists have tried to enter through the northern border before and greater Canadian security participation and attention there is great news for America.
