That's not a shot either - it's just that people are not as altruistic in the rest of Canada as you might believe.

I disagree. Many people have a sense of loyalty to their party. Sure, that can be broken, but not by the whims that you see in Quebec. I think a lot of people are willing to put up with a considerable amount of crap before they take their vote elsewhere. With Quebeckers, they may change their minds three times in the same election campaign. You don't see polls fluctuate anywhere else in the country like they do in Quebec. It's part of their culture. The idea that they are special and will go to the highest bidder.
