I missed the part where Harper said:
"If all else fails, its clear we just need to go against the wishes of the many who voted for us and our values over the other parties out there, and through backdoor deals, with complete disregard to above said voters, simply align ourselves with parties on the opposite end of the policital spectrum, including with the party that wishes to succeed from Canada, and sort out the details about who from the group of us will attempt to run the country, later"
