Of course it's too early to start popping the champagne corks, but Canada's Conservatives have moved ahead by substantial margins in today's polls regarding the January 23rd election. There is even a chance that enough Conservatives would be elected to Parliament for the party to form a majority government. Twelve years of Liberal rule may (mercifully) be nearing an end.The question remains, however -- if Canada's Conservatives do not actively pursue conservative ideals (as their counterparts in the United States' G.O.P have so spinelessly failed to do), how significant would be their victory anyhow?
