How the Liberal meltdown gave Stephen Harper his majority - Canada Votes 2011 - CBC News

And all it came down to is that despite the media being hard on Harper, despite the reports of how well Iggy's campaign was going, despite the so-called ethical lapses...

Harper won because he's the only one that wasn't trying to spend more money.

That's it. He was the only one being fiscally responsible in a time of deficits. He's been making a dent in the deficit, and many of his promises were contingent on eliminating that deficit.

It wasn't because the Conservatives were particularly nasty in their criticisms of Mr. Ignatieff, it's that what the Conservatives were serving was absolutely believable.

The other thing to note on this election night... the NDP didn't break through anywhere else in Canada... They broke through in Quebec, they picked up about 4 seats in the Atlantic and 4 in the rest of Canada. Hardly the Orange Crush that the press seem to think it is.
