Good article written about him. One new development, he did oppose the "Bush-led" war in Iraq as of a March 2004 article after being pro-war as intervene in areas of human rights abuses which he strongly supports.

I looked at the polls yesterday on decima.com. Harper has an approval/support rating in the low 40s, just above the oh-so-hated Bush while most Canadians still "disapprove" him, contray to the Canadian media/Conservative Party Communications Department says. As contray to what the papers say, Quebecers still hate Harper the most, particularly the French, particularly supporters his government partners the Bloc who I guess have appeared to have decided on folding next election and just holding their seats as long as possible. Also, Harper has the majority of Canadians not thinking he is doing a good job on all 12 issues asked, though he is technically in a statisically tie on foreign relations, human rights and relations with the US. There are 5 issues Canadians clearly disagree on Harper with: 1)Health care 2) Environment 3) Childcare 4) Taxes 5) Intergrety. Funny, those sound like the most important issues and education wasn't mentioned but I am sure it would be there.

On a side note, most seniors support Harper while most non-senors oppose him. I guess when you are senile, a million election signs can convince you of anything. Besides, old people like judging and punishing people, which I guess is a similarity of the Conservatives.

As for the next Liberal leader, Dryden seems most popular with Rae close behind and Ignatieff and Kennedy. That's the real competition of the 11 or some people running.
