Stephen Harper taking on the PM

Otawa Canada. Conservative (right) Leader Stephen Harper has for the first time displaced Liberal Leader (left) Paul Martin as the politician Canadians most favour to lead the country, a new poll shows. This is good news as the Conservative Party is also gaining a great amount of popularity ahead of the Canadian Elections on January 23rd.

Riding a surge of support in British Columbia, the Prairie provinces and Quebec, Mr. Harper has the trust of 32 per cent of voters, compared with 25 per cent for Mr. Martin and 17 per cent for NDP Leader Jack Layton. It is looking very good for Canada and Canadians that Stephen Harper will be the next Prime Minister of Canada.
