Harper stared directly into the camera as he fended off a three-pronged attack that focused on allegations of Conservative deception, dubious spending practices and secretive, conspiratorial government.
He shrugged it off, talking past his rivals to warn viewers at home about the alternative to a Tory majority.
"I hope this time — and I'm being quite frank — I hope it is a majority," Harper said, broaching a subject he was loathe to discuss in the 2004, 2006 and 2008 federal campaigns.
"Otherwise, you look at the debate we're having today, we're going to be back into a fifth election in no time at all."
