Wheels down in Calgary
The Airbus A319 carrying Conservative leader Stephen Harper in seat A-1 has
just touched down in Calgary.
Earlier in the campaign, journalists had dubbed the plane Mr. Happy's Flying
Circus. It was meant to be an ironic recognition of the early Liberal
strategy of painting Harper as too angry to be PM.
And yet, if the latest polls hold, we will be flying back to Ottawa Tuesday
with someone in A-1 who truly is Mr. Happy.
Harper headquarters will be the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary.
Harper himself has already voted -- he did the deed back in Ottawa --
mailing in his ballot at a post office box near Stornaway.
Laureen Harper, however, has not voted and will do so at 2:45 pm. That will
be the last we'll see of the couple today until the time comes for his
concession or victory speech.
An exciting day, to be sure, for political junkies. I just wish I didn't
wake up this morning with a whopper of a cold.
