In fact, if we go further and remove ALL of Western Canada including the Territories the Conservatives STILL would have formed a government with 71 seats to the Liberals 69. Now if we remove Toronto...

I'm not saying either are fair comparisons because they all belong to Canada but to claim the Conservatives ONLY have support in the West, or Alberta, is far from the truth! Today, the Conservatives would be the true "National" Party.
So what you're saying is that the Conservatives are truly a national party? Gasp. Say it ain't so!
