Not as important as what the guy you vote for WILL do. If you are afraid of WR, why do you vote PC? There are NDP, LIB, Green Party, Alberta Party for you to vote for. The reason you vote PC for the fear of of WR is that you actually like PC to begin with. Whether WR is scary or not is largely irrelevant.
Fear mongering doesn't work because there's no guarantee even when it works, the voter will vote for you. And if voters do vote for you, they probably vote for you anyway to begin with.
