I think a lot of people are worried over nothing... the conservative backbenchers getting too much power, LOL!

What are these conservative bills they will introduce? Change the name of gay marriage to same-sex partnership? OH I am quaking in my boots. Don't change the name of gay marriage, please no! I think lots of liberals (and conservatives for that matter) need to understand that both are centre parties in Canada, and despite your fear-mongering, there won't be any restriction of people's rights or freedoms if Harper gets a majority. If you disagree, then prove to me how your life has changed in the last 3 years, since we have had a liberal government... I will tell you right now that my life has not changed, and so that proves to me that nothing drastic will be changing.

Harper may be an android, but he has done very well for himself as a PM with a minority government. If he gets a majority, I doubt there will be a doomsday. Just like if Dion gets a minority, there will be no change really, other than the fact our PM won't be able to speak English again. That will suck.
