We now have a government that will be more sympathetic to a number of the issues of concern to evangelicals. But for Canadians, this was a cautious vote for change.

On a number of issues, the government, I think, will be more sympathetic, but they're going to have to move very cautiously and very carefully.

That will certainly become a barrier. But the first step would be to get it past a free vote in the House of Commons.

The question is whether Harper can convince the Canadian population that he is trustworthy and will do what he said he would, and that he does not have a hidden agenda. If people get more comfortable with him, then I think he has a chance to probably expand his base.

This win shows progress. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, though. A lot of people picked us to finish last in the conference, so it would be nice to prove them wrong.

We haven't really talked about going to the tournament. We just want to keep playing. ... There is a hunger and air of confidence about this team.
