CANADIAN voters have rebuked Prime Minister Paul Martin and his centre-left Liberal Party, tossing them out after 13 years in power.
The new leader, Stephen Harper, the head of the Conservative Party, will be one of Canada's youngest prime ministers when he is sworn in later this week. He is 46.
Harper is marginally better, in that he's not calling for a handgun ban and wants to shut down Canada's absurd gun registry boondoggle, but he still endorses mandatory sentences for illegal possession and employs the gun law enforcement rhetoric of...umm...these guys.
