People who hate the Liberals need to start focusing their energy in a different direction and demand better from their Conservative party. As much as the Liberals manage to screw up, they are also the only party that has shown that they can be effective and that they know the ins and outs of the system.
Oh I absolutely agree that we must demand better from the Conservative party.

However, that does not justify, mitigate or release the Liberals from accountability.

Canada is governed by a corrupt party that tosses democracy aside when it doesnt suit them. This surprise vote was only the latest example. This party ignores the needs of large portions of this nation, and exists to serve only itself. This party is directly responsible for the return to prominence of the PQ/BQ and the regrowth of Quebec seperatist sentiment. This party is directly responsible for the increased alienation of the West - in particular Alberta. This party is directly responsible for any deterioration in the health and education systems. This party is directly responsible for Canada repeatedly being embarrassed on the world stage.

You can whine about the CPC all you want. It's only crime so far is that it doesnt play politics nearly as well as the Liberals. When the so-called federal Liberals begin to work for the federation rather than themselves, I'll ease up on them.

I'm not holding my breath though. [/b][/quote]
I agree with this and T99,above this quote.
How can you rationalize Liberals doing this because they know "politics".
I for one do not think Harper is bought by the Martin Steamships Company and I'm sure has no desire to afford them a tax break.So he doesn't know the "system"? Good.
Maybe he is looking for honesty and integrity in politicians. Maybe I am naive.

After watching a lot of posts about politics in this forum two things.

Provincial politics have very little to do with how that same province votes federally.

Good government in the last twelve years is a fallacy,I could have been PM and showed favourable economic results. It is funny how Nfld and all the major unemployed provinces have grabbed onto Danny Williams deal.Gee were they getting ripped off. TOO!! Good for them go for it.



I want a government that doesn't lie ,cheat,scam,..blah ,blah to stay in power.
That is liberal politics (the activities and methods of a party)
I want a government that can make policies for the better of us all.
policy (any plan or principle that guides in decision making)
Just because some policies aren't what you see as correct in a party ;does NOT mean that the party can't be persuaded to re analyze that policy.
What the Liberals are doing is corrupting themselves and the Canadian government to get there policies shoved through no matter how much you do or do not agree with them. Disgusting and seen throughout the world as amateurs,except by dictators.
Harper makes some errors as a politician but his policies are far more advanced than the schemers I have watched for my whole life.
