6 weeks into this new government, and the 300 million dollar election is for naught. The CPC will no longer have any power whatsoever in this new majority government led by our natural ruling party. Makes me want to puke.
I'd write to my conservative MP, but his website is down. I'd call the CPC directly, but nobody is there to take my call this Sunday.

The general opinion is that the Conservatives are not addressing the economic situation faced by the country and the opposition parties believe that action must be taken to avert further economic crisis and the Conservatives appeared wholly unwilling to do such a thing.
Added to that, the Conservatives did their best to irritate the opposition parties with the massive funding cuts to political parties (when the opposition parties were in bad shape financially) and a ban on allowing federal civil servants to strike.
That's what I know of the situation.
