Terrific editorial in today's National Post (I am not there right now so can't claim credit) about Stephen Harper's recent trend towards moderation:
Canada has little use for a pandering, anti-ideological opposition party that bases its positions on the polling numbers and spends more time sowing regional divides than putting forward serious policy proposals. What it needs instead is a principled right-of-centre alternative to the governing Liberals. Mr. Harper was elected leader because he seemed best able to provide that alternative. With the Liberals in minority status and the next election up for grabs, now is the time to start delivering.
Here's to that. The news hook for this is Harper's recent equivocation on support for the U.S.'s missile defence shield. He previously supported it. Harper's recent behaviour is not a good sign.
