"Finding common ground promised"
For Immediate Release October 15, 2008Newmarket, Ontario- Prime Minister Stephen Harper in his acceptance speech spoke of working together for Canada's benefit, of joining together with other parties in acting to weather the economic crisis. He spoke of being inclusive and responsive to all Canadians, of moving forward a Canada united, strong, independent and free.
The reason given by the Prime Minister for the still contested calling of the election was that the 39th Parliament was dysfunctional.
In his speech, however, he stated a contradiction: he said it had been shown that "minority government can work" and that "it can again" when it had not.
It is to be hoped that Stephen Harper's words stressing cooperation are the basis of his actions in the coming Parliament rather than past performance and that his meetings with the leaders of the other Parliamentary parties lead to determining common ground in taking steps for the well being of Canada and Canadians.
The twofold role of opposition parties is to question the failings of those charting the course of our country and to offer positive alternative actions.
The Progressive Canadian (PC) Party will continue carrying out both these necessary tasks.

Harper to tackle economy
Harper will stack Senate if necessary
Newly-re-elected Prime Minister Stephen today served notice that he will stack the Senate with Tory appointments if necessary to push through democratic reforms of the chamber.
Majority blues
Dubious win for Harper (Oct 15)
If not now, when? If not against an incomprehensible opponent touting a brand-new tax during an election, then against who?
