Perhaps conservative Canadians need to examine why it is that their party is so hated by many in the nation that even when their opponents steal taxpayers' money they're still willing to put up with them.

I think that is way over stated ...
regionalism in Canada has cast a shadow over all national politics. Many (clearly don't have the stats) in Ontario are voting Liberal just to make sure Alberta can't wrestle power away from Ontario in national affairs. That's not hatred for a conservative platform it's fear of a regional shift in power.
That and trying to get elected without an official policy book (PC's) was pretty much insane last time around. Hard to defend fear politics from Martin when you don't have anything down on paper.
Overall this is likely all good for Canada in the long run. A change in government to the conservatives regardless of tenure will be good for the nation, and this type of brow beating can only make the Liberals better long term too. Future governments in Canada are going to have to be very, very careful to either not cheat or do a heck of a better job of not getting caught. [/b][/quote]
So what, when you vote the Cons here in Alberta is that just regionalism too, trying to wrest power from the east? Or do you actually like their policies?
