As far as their 'right wing' ideologies, I'm not so sure about that. Back when they took power in 2006, Harper held a free vote on SSM, and SSM was allowed to stay. Hasn't been a peep about that since.
I'm sure their environmental record could be better, but it's private enterprise that is supposed to be building wind and solar farms.

You mean by being forced to do a stimulus by the Liberals and NDP, and then taking all the credit through incredibly wasteful TV/Print ads? Less we forget cutting the GST, almost universally agreed as a terrible economic decision, and not balancing a single budget until this year (by dipping into the contingency fund no less).
I don't know, sounds like they aren't that good on the economy. And then you remember their tougher crime laws that are guaranteed to cost taxpayers more money on jails and...what exactly are they good economically on?
