I'm curious to find out exactly why so many people under the age of 50 are incredibly anti-Liberal, as some people around here are (and CP is probably mostly uner 50). Tron admitted that it was practically beat into him when he was growing up that the Liberals created such chaos through stuff like the NEP, was anyone else raised like this? Not that it's a bad thing, I'm just keen to know the effect it's had on younger generations.

I grew up in a conservative household, but never have I associated early 80's federal politics with modern-day centrist provincial politics.

I should hope what happened 25 years ago is not the be-all, end-all for political choice in this country, especially with a generation now removed from that entire incident.
