Big Part of Harper's Mission Accomplished

"Harper really didn't have the option of the cataclysmic approach because you can't do that without a majority,'' he said in an interview.

"So he's made the incremental approach work -- all the time having the insecurity of a minority government.

"It's really quite a performance, I think . . . Over a period of a few years they've got all this in place and they never appeared -- at any one point -- they never appeared to be making a radical shift.

"But the cumulative impact of all these together is creating a new profile.''

From CP by way of CTV.

"Not only are the Conservatives boxing in the federal spending power in general, said Flanagan, "they're also boxing in the Liberals from being able to campaign on expensive promises.''

Didn't take all that long did it?

Now they just have to screw up the delivery of the remaining programs sufficiently for the rest of the unthinking herd to lose their faith in the efficacy and utility of government and the job is done.
