Harper on governing

Stephen Harper did not announce any new policies this morning at a rally in Ottawa but he did lay out the five most important things his government will do.

That led to questions in the press conference after the announcement about the dangers of counting your political chickens before they are hatched. In the 2004 campaign, the Conservatives appeared to lose support after they appeared to be talking about “transition teams” and even majority governments.

Here's what Harper said today about appearing too presumptuous:

“Whatever the verdict of the people of Canada is, we'll accept that. I believe we can win. Conservatives don't believe we have a divine right to rule so I'll be quite pleased to get any kind of a mandate and if the people of Canada do choose to give us a mandate, whatever kind of mandate, I can assure Canadians we'll be ready to accept that.”
