A majority government from a minority vote for the Harper Tories in 2015

For almost one whole decade, Conservative Stephen Harper has both led the federal Tories as its leader and the Government of Canada as its Prime Minister as the unlikeably bland chief policy wonk Reform loved him as so many years ago, his strong penchant to insist on absolute control and complete loyalty from all those around him allows for the kind of autocratic governing and management style that has kept the dominion going in the same direction as it has been these last ten years. That intensity which came with his perpetual campaign mode has brought with it a permanent electoral politics, where every governmental press release from any department within has a signature Harper Conservative stamp of approval somewhere upon it, that has moved past the compassionate and incremental conservatism of Preston Manning and Stockwell Day to a plain old pan Canadian multicultural conservatism beyond the core and deep into the culture of the nation at large. Canadianizing conservatism can now be seen as the main way Harper has been able to sell the ideology to its citizens, making the federal Tory brand as Canadian as Tim Hortons, Hockey Night in Canada, and the maple leaf just like the Liberals were only less than a decade ago, the key being owning the immigration vote where traditional moral values matter much more today than modern liberal democratic ones previously mainly due to an on going war on terrorism at the turn of the century as civil liberty and its rights ceded its sovereign power to national security and its responsibilities.

All of which then when added up, leads one to believe Canadian are headed for a majority government from a minority vote for the Harper Tories in 2015, especially with the Grits under Justin Trudeau and its formerly Big Red Machine consistently losing ground to the New Demos of Thomas Mulcair and their current Orange Crush that continues to gain steam across the country.

Trading in the federal issues of energy, ecology, and the environment for the economy, great recession globally, and a believed to be balanced budget locally, Harper has an electoral advantage over the others along with his long tenure governing the nation be it by minority or majority, neither Mulcair or Trudeau has that kind of experience going into an economic storm which seems to be set on coming our way despite failing at the pipeline with the United States, a free trade agreement with Europe, and watching our Canadian dollar become a more devalued currency than a Mexican peso. Love him or hate the Prime Minister, Harper with all his secrecy, informational direction and control, and micromanagement of electoral and governmental data seems to have a monopoly on the question of leadership, which leads one to believe we have left the bureaucratic era and have truly entered a technocratic age that Manning told us would come. From Reform to Alliance to Tory Harper holds true with this organizational structure and system of governance where jobs are given to all those who merit them and decisions are made upon knowledge only, quite a different Canada than one Trudeau and Mulcair envision, reminisce, and want Canadians to quickly return back to despite all the given proof today to the contrary, because at the end of the day slow and steady wins the race and as any good progressive conservative knows bland works in Canada.
