The Globe and Mail: Conservatives win minority; Martin to step down as leader

The Globe and Mail: Conservatives win minority; Martin to step down as leader: "'Tonight, friends, Canadians have voted for change,' Mr. Harper said, speaking to supporters in Calgary.
'And Canadians have asked our party to take the lead in delivering that change. I tell Canadians we will respect your trust and we will stick to our words.'
Mr. Harper's comments capped a night in which the Liberal's 12-year reign came to an end in a vote that handed the Conservatives a minority mandate but also held that power in check with a solid endorsement of opposition parties as well."
