Canadian PM Re-Elected to Minority Government
---------------------------------------------



And in Canada, voters have re-elected Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s
Conservative Party to the most seats in parliament. Harper has been a
staunch ally of President Bush. Despite the win, Harper’s Conservatives
again fell short of picking up a parliamentary majority, meaning it will
again have to form a minority government. The center-left New Democratic
Party picked up eight seats, from twenty-nine to thirty-seven.
