I have to give the liberals a lot of credit, they've done a great job with PR, they've made the Conservatives and any party that opposses them out to be this evil rednecked ultra right wing monster, while the Liberals have managed to clean out the cash register, and stolen the paintings from the wall.
Its brilliant, and it truly illustrates why the system dosen't work. There's one way accountabilty where the party in power has to really answer to no one, while the parties that strive to get there are attacked at will.
Its funny.
I strongly dislike the liberals and what they stand for. they've become smug and arrogant and criminal. I don't care about the gay marriage vote, or the legalization of dope, to be honest, things like that are trivial, and like abortion should be under the jurisdiction of the provinces.
I can't stand the fact that the Liberals are either corrupt or incompetant, and both should cost them the government.
But its unlikely because the Liberals will spin up the lies and untruths, and write a few checks and the election will be over before it hits the Manitoba border.
Kent Brockman from the Simpson's said it best. "The more I think about it, the more I realize that democracy dosen't work"

A little overkill. 200M over 8(?) years for the federal government is actually less of a loss relativily speaking then the millions lost when the Holy Cross hospital was sold for pennies on the dollar to Klein's good (American i believe) friends in the Health Care business (but remember privatization is good for the little guy!) or when his wife (And Chief of staff and his wife?) made millions on stock promoted by him questionably while abroad on tax payer paid 'business' or the billions made by power companies and saved by oil sands extractors (whose power intensive extraction techniques have been subsidized by artificially rising energy demand at peak to offset usage costs at non-peak) since evergy privatization, etc.
Corruption, greed, playing favorite's, padding friends pockets, etc are all pretty standard across the board, no need to self-rightously limit the accusations to Liberals only... not to mention buying vote's...
