Good points all Garry. No one claims the Conservatives haven't made a ton of mistakes...they just didn't seem as arrogant as the Liberals while doing it! I could give you chapter and verse about both parties, but everyone knows them already. It would just be redundant and take up a lot of Jeve's server space. You see, as a Western Canadian I know what it has been like taking it up the a## from both parties. And you wonder why there are so many Gays in Vancouver!
Reading the threads regarding the Canadian election reconfirms something I've known for a long time. Canadians outside of " La belle province" and southern Ontario are poorly served by those in Ottawa and until something is done about ensuring that the concerns of Western Canada are not only heard but addressed, Canada will remain a poor example of a democracy.
