It's not like the Liberals are just fabricating baseless lies about the Conservative party to fool Canadians into thinking that they are a bunch of red-necked yokels. The Conservatives are doing a pretty good job of doing that themselves and until they shed the Randy Whites and all the bigots from the party they will never form government. Blame the Liberals all the want but the Conservatives are responsible for the electoral position they are in and no one else.
The system has been around for 138 years. You'd think they would have learned to to play it instead of griping about it day in day out?

If bigotry is what keeps the Conservatives out of power, then how are the Liberals in power?
Chretien was openly bigoted against the west, but that doesnt matter because when it comes to elections, the west doesnt matter.
The government sent it's tax collectors out last election to silence churches that opposed the Liberals because of their stance on same-sex marriage. But, I suppose we dont care about freedom of speech or freedom of religion in this country.
ESPECIALLY if you are a part of the majority.
Hedy Fry accused Prince George of burning crosses.
The entire 2000 Election campaign was run in a platform of bigotry and racism by the Liberals. Notably comments from Elanor Caplan who accused the CA of being made up of "holocost deniers, prominent bigots and racists."
Of course, she didnt back her claims up in any way.
But it's alright.
In Canada, apparently being a bigot prevents you from getting elected if you are Conservative.
If you are a Liberal, it guarantees you get elected.
