Conservative Canada?

It looks like Canada could be well on its way to tossing out its Liberal government in favor of a conservative Tory majority government. If that occurs, I'd caution anyone against thinking that this will be a boon to Canadian & American relations. A new conservative government in Canada will be the Canadian voters' response to corruption and scandal on the part of the Liberal party. Much of the Canadian public (especially in the east) still remains to the left of Americans, and a conservative government will likely understand and reflect this. Still, should it occur, I think we can expect a small improvement of relations.
