I think this says a lot about Liberal voters.

When Kim Campbell was in charge of the Conservatives, they were reduced to 2 seats. Sure the Reform was still around (with arguably a strong leader in Manning), meaning that the Reform+PC got 56 seats.

With Dion, arguably the worst Liberal leader of all time, they only go down to 76 seats.

People complain about the West voting nothing but Conservative... and yet Liberal voters are exactly the same.. and even worse in my opinion. We keep hearing that these are uncertain times and yet their leader wanted to change (Shift) the whole economy. Add in all of the other Dion criticisms, and yet still gets 76 seats???
