As a former easterner who's moved west, I'd vote conservative if an election is in the works. Dion is a poor poor choice for Liberal leader with no leadership skills and the stench of the past regime still fresh, and Harper knows that an election would virtually eliminate the Liberals as a threat with Dion in command. The Conservative Party had a few hiccups during their leadership, but other then that they've run a pretty tight ship and stuck to their policies.
Even though Canada is by and large a socialist / liberal country, Harper hasn't eaten babies like the left claimed would happen if he was in power, and Dion's environmental policies would devestate the western economy. Dion doesn't even have full support of his own party, and Canadians should expect to give him support? I expect another conservative minority, as too many liberals fear to vote conservative due to some religious right extremist elements in the party.
