We now are ruled by the All-knowing Great Leader, who will not be swayed by any finger-waving from the opposition benches. Stephen Harper is a Christian Fundamentalist, whose views are shaped by his beliefs. He now has carte-blanche.
How far will he go?
Just watch him.

Say good - bye to any future elections. This was the last one. Mark my words. If I'm alive in four years, again, folks will say how I predicted this accurately.
Oh, and Scott, I'd say let's get that Pauline Marois elected and really work on Quebec sovereignty. It'll be our only escape from Harperland.
R.I.P. Rule of Law
What? Do you think the Harper Party will really allow investigations into its own? I fully expect any investigation into the voter suppression tactics this election to go nowhere.
R.I.P. Supreme Court of Canada
Three of nine justices will hit mandatory retirement during the next four years. Two others will be close to it. Maybe Harper won't try to stack the court ideologically, but I'm expecting appointments like Robert Dewar.
R.I.P. Proportional political party funding. It will be back to the old big business and union funding again.
R.I.P Canadian sovereignty via the upcoming Perimeter Security deal with the US.
With a Minority, it had a chance of being killed. Not now ..
We're done.
R.I.P. VIA Rail
R.I.P. AECL
I don't think same-sex marriage will be ended. It is almost certainly constitutionally protected. Besides people will be distracted by the polygamy issue.
So far the Governor-General of Canada has been good to the Conservatives. I doubt they will have any reason mess with that. They'd have to change the constitution, anyway.
However I do suspect they will use the notwithstanding clause.
RIP the destruction of the conservative party in four years when everyone realizes what we already know.
