shame

All I can say is, Canada, you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing this to happen.

Conservatives win Canadian Election

Relations with the Bush administration will likely improve under Harper as his ideology runs along the same lines of many U.S. Republicans.

The Conservative victory ended more than a decade of Liberal Party rule and could shift the traditionally liberal country to the right on socio-economic issues such as health care, taxation, abortion and gay marriage. Some Canadians have expressed reservations about Harper's views opposing abortion and marriages between gays and lesbians.

The Liberals have angered Washington in recent years, condemning the war in

Iraq, refusing to join the continental anti-ballistic missile plan and criticizing President Bush for rejecting the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas emissions and enacting punitive Canadian lumber tariffs.
