Conservatives secure majority in election reshapes Canadian policy
After a narrow turnout of about 60 percent, the Conservatives hold a majority as Bloc Quebecois is nearly wiped out and NDP rises to official opposition. The Liberals collapse under Michael Ignatieff while Elizabeth May wins a Green seat. Key Western issues are the Canadian Wheat Board and firearms law reform. The party pledges to scrap the long gun registry and may shift CWB structure to a voluntary system, signaling major changes for farmers and grain handlers.
