One only needs to look at the incarceration rates wrt First Nations. As to Harper's popularity, well, he's at the bottom re the three party leaders. The Con party voters are regional and the party needs crucial ridings in Ontario and a few in Quebec, we shall see.

I didn't think Canadians would be dumb enough to give the Cons a majority in the last election, I was wrong and, as a result, my cynicism as to us throwing them out has grown not diminished.
