Niagara Falls, Ont. - Stephen Harper says Canadians should throw their support behind the Conservatives if they want a majority government. He says there's no way the Liberals can win enough votes to form one.

Harper suggested public opinion has shifted toward the Conservatives because Martin lacks a direction or vision for Canada. "We are providing a direction for this country."
