To be blunt, if this shakes out as some are speculating I think May should be held responsible for crushing any momentum the Greens had on their way to becoming a legitimate entity.
I'm not saying the Emerson situation was right either - but its entirely different.

For sure
I was just pointing out that the Conservatives are as two-faced as the Liberals. They're both in the slop.
Whine'n moan about Stronach for a long time, then don't even sit in the house before doing the same darn thing. At least Stronach had the moxy to run in the next election as Liberal.
Then the "I won't tax income trusts" followed by taxing income trusts. Hey, I agree it needed to be done because of what some major corporations were planning. I don't agree with the pledge he made in the first place - a promise he either lied in making or was ignorant in making.
If you want to portray yourself as being more ethical, then you had better live up to that portrayal.
The Liberals didn't, the Conservatives aren't.
I think the CPC are a better party for governing, but I don't think they are a very good choice. For all the talk of "let them take power then try to look for changes", I don't believe that will work. There wsa already a huge outcry about Bill C-61, Prentice has already shown himself to be ignorant about the actual impact of the bill, everyday MPs were given a script on how to respond to complaints. The CPC were given a perfect chance to revise the bill. With its death at the dropping of the writ, they could easily have said, "We have heard the public and will consider these concerns", but no, instead the CPC platform has announced they will re-introduce the bill. Yeah, that is listening to the public.
I'm strongly jaded on politics, and the more I see the more jaded I become.
I'll vote (I always have), but it will feel like taking a bite of crap sandwich.
