I agree with what Marvin and Paul have to say. Harper is a great fan of Bush and US foreign policy on the whole although he has made a lot of noise about sovereignty in the Northwest Passage. However, he has also vastly increased military expenditure that will no doubt be used to take some of the pressure off US forces in areas such as Afghanistan. Harper would be even more gung ho if it were not for the fact that he is in a minority situation and the majority of Canadians are not in favor of many of his policies. Harper is also out to wreck the Canadian Wheat Board. Just recently he appointed a high profile critic of the board to its board of directors! Harper has also cut a number of social programs and is a great believer in tax cuts and less govt. spending unless it is on the military etc.
