Democracy Now! interviews Stephen Lewis, long-time member of the National Democratic Party, about the results of the Canadian elections. The Conservative party, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, was elected to a majority in the Canadian parliament, ending five years of minority government. The election also saw major gains for the left-leaning National Democratic Party, which won enough seats to become the official opposition party for the first time. Harper has vowed to continue pro-corporate policies that have led critics to label his government the most right-wing in recent Canadian history.
