Analysts say Harper could rally many, but middle-class voters may resist a western‑driven, right‑wing shift.

Softwood deal hinges on quota split says B C minister
BC forest minister Mike DeJong warned that a US Canada softwood lumber agreement will fail without provincial consensus on quota division. He noted the deal would cut Canada’s market share to about 31.5 percent and urged a fair allocation while acknowledging no quotas may vanish if ratified. Canada ships about $10 billion annually to the United States in softwood lumber.
