So Liberals take note and learn from this and avoid from marching out a platform rich on extensive social programs, rent controls and GHG emission hard caps. On these issues they are pandering to traditionally NDP/Green support as opposed to chipping away at traditional tory voters.

I still don't see where the PC's and Liberals differentiate on spending. The Conservatives are spending like an asteroid is gonna hit this planet in ten years. There is no great difference between the two parties. The 1993 Tories=good. These Tories are no different than the Liberals when it comes to buying votes.
