Stephen Harper has reshaped Canada in two years: Tim Harper

The Conservative majority turned two Thursday. Hold the cake.

For all its carefully-crafted imagery as the stay-the-course, steady-as-she goes government, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have reshaped much of this country in 24 short months.

From the environment, to health care, to foreign policy, this is a different Canada than it was May 2, 2011, and many of the Harper initiatives may not be easily undone by future governments, or even future leaders of a Conservative government.

In some cases, this government has been remarkably up front about its plans to hobble any future governments, most notably in its decision to destroy data from the long gun registry, now a thing of the past everywhere but Quebec which is fighting for its data in court.
