The Conservatives really didn't do anything to change their party or to "rise from the ashes". It's still the same party with the same minds behind it as it was for years before Harper became PM. All they had to do to win the last election was not screw up as the Liberals did practically everything possible to hand the election over to the Conservatives. They didn't win because Canadians rallied for them. They won by default because the Liberals tossed support away.. I wouldn't call that a triumphant rise from the ashes for the party. Watching those 2 parties battle it out during the last election was like watching the Canucks and Oilers battle it out for the last playoff spot last year.
Even with Dion as leader, I think they are starting off on even ground.
