CANADIANS VOTE CONSERVATIVE

Our neighbors to the north ended twelve years of liberal rule yesterday as Canadians overwhelmingly replaced the liberal government with a conservative one. Running on a platform of tax reductions, border control on the US and Canada border and repairing relations with the United States the former minority Tory Party became the majority as voters voiced their approval to the Tory platform. Conservatism is spreading and becoming the voice of the mainstream as this election proves. Though we in the United States have fallen short of many conservative beliefs in our current majority the voice of conservatives in this country is beginning to be heard and acted upon by the Republican majority. As our northern neighbors have spoken and conservatives in America continue to be heard the majority in Congress will continue to shape the agenda to a more conservative one. The 2006 agenda that has been revealed shows this shift and I am sure that this will not be the end of it. There is currently a conservative battle shaping as Republicans are preparing to vote for a new House majority leader and majority whip. Current candidates are stressing reform and better adherence to the conservative platform that elected them to office in the first place. As a wise man once said, "that and better will do."
