And we'll even throw the NDP a bone and see if they'll support us from time to time."
Compare that with Alberta, where it's as though we get together and say, "Okay, we're going to unanimously elect the same party that we always do, even though it means that nobody cares about us, since our own party doesn't need to give us concessions and there's no point in the other parties even trying to win votes here."

The consistency is shocking, isn't it?
