"They Conservatives have spent the most money and aren't compromising"... sure they aren't. How many times have they moved from their position due to political pressure, even before this $1.95/vote fiasco? Too many for my liking, but that is the nature of minority parliaments. Too bad most of that is going under the radar.
So initially when the coalition produces an outline which gives Quebec money it's absolutely outrageous buying votes and making deals with separatists. Now that it seems the Conservatives will offer a budget that will essentially mirror exactly what the coalition wanted that it's compromise?

A true Conservative should be outraged at this soon-to-be buying of votes out east. This is just preposterous and it really outlines the lack of partiality that many people seem to display here. I think that all the politicians are all liars and self-serving.
