That may be the reason why we ended up with a CPC minority government in 2006 but not the reason in 2011. I think by 2011 people no longer believed the Harper boogey man stories and just decided to give the Conservative party an honest chance/opportunity at governing Canada. And they did this by deciding that Harper deserved his majority government that he'd been trying for, for so long.
