I think Harper's biggest contribution is his handling of the economy during a very difficult and scary time. I also believe that his Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty has done an outstanding job, and is to the Conservatives what Paul Martin was to the Liberals. I believe that reducing taxes on corporations to stimulate employment is the correct way to go, contrary to what the other parties seem to think...especially the NDP. My biggest fear is that the Liberals will form a coalition with the NDP in order to gain power, and we'll all suffer for it...especially Ontario.

Things like the TFSA and allowing retired couples to average their income will be, and is, a huge benefit for Canadians.

Also I think the Conservatives steps to maintain our sovereignty over the North, and upgrading our military is necessary and well timed.

I remember being impressed by Harper when he came to my house as a young aspiring polititian many many years ago. When you consider all the things he has gone through since then to get where he is, I believe he has to be a truly amazing and gifted individual.
