If the Liberals made the effort to reach out to the region - and we both know that simple words won't do it, they would have to spend multiple elections worth of time at this point - to cultivate support, then they would get a great deal more leeway with the local public.
The fact is, they reap what they sow, and have been for decades.

It doesn't work that way. Come up with a platform, and a strategy for the province that people can get behind, and people will get behind. The Liberal party has long combined arrogance and ignorance in how it deals with us, and consequently have, and deserve, no support at all.
