Oshawa, Ont. - The Conservative party is gaining confidence as leader Stephen Harper continues on Tuesday to campaign in Ontario, where the party hopes to make big gains this election.

The Conservatives are looking for a boost in Ontario, where one-third of Parliament's seats are held Ð and where vote splitting between the old Tory and Reform-Alliance parties helped the Liberals dominate in the past three elections.
