but it's hardly what the headlines claim it is, a "firm alignment with the protestors"...i don't think the united states really cares that much what is transitioned to so long as this revolutionary business goes away. because that's how we roll.

There are several politicians and organizations in Canada (aside from the Prime Minister) who have taken clear stances suggesting a "peaceful transition" to a democratically elected government. It seems Harper is taking a page out of the Obama playbook by not being quite forceful in the suggestion.

It's hard to say. It all depends on how tightly Mubarak wishes to cling to power. He may still want to wait it out. It might have to come to what roachboy mentioned above with a general strike. If peaceful protest in large numbers doesn't work, I would imagine it would be only a matter of time before more disruptive measures are taken.
We can only hope that Mubarak caves sooner rather than later.
