I know that this is going to go over well, but frankly I wouldn't be surprised to see some social legislation come forth if the Conservatives have a majority. That might not be the thrust of the election campaign, but that element of the party is still there. We saw some of that with the funding for Africa and the reluctance to fund birth control for example.
I'm not fear mongering, and I don't mean this as the sole reason that people should vote against them (there are many legitimate, well known reasons after-all!), nut I don't doubt that some of the "flat-earthers" will come out of the woodwork with the safety of a majority as well.

Let 'em. there is no way that the more level minded ( vast majority) of the rest of the members are going to pass any legislation that is too far out of the scope of what Canadians want. Harper himself doesn't seem like he is very extreme about much except maybe crime and punishment...which is something that does need reform in a bad bad way in Canada.
Any radical changes back to where things used to be ( gay mariiage, abortion) is a battle no one can win because the courts have spoken and they are dead issues. The guys running things know this as well as anyone.
