the rest have been minorities (seems like it's been "Harper's government" since the ice age, lol) so the damage he could do before was somewhat limited whereas Mulroney had at least 2 majority governments I believe where his arrogance and sleaze was easier to see and feel.

I am very encouraged by the NDP numbers. Alberta going NDP broke the ice, so to speak, where Canadians began to seriously consider the party as capable of governing, imo.
