I dont think this was a gaffe.

I think this will be the lefts new "hidden agenda" war-cry argument to get votes east of Sask which has worked for old man Trudeau and Chrétien in the past. Its an argument thats difficult to combat when economies in those provinces arent doing well.

In order to combat this the Cons need to shift their focus from QC voters to maritme voters who should be able to see the benefits that natural resources can bring and show them that if Ontario and QC can do this to Alberta, that they can also do this to NFL, NB, and NS.

Right now I wouldnt attack either the NDP or Libs directly, 2 strong left parties are good for the Cons at the moment, wait until one takes a marketable lead over the other then go after them. I would be trying to help the greens, a new green voter is not a possible blue voter but they are possible red or orange voters. Maybe try to team up with May to have her input on a new environmental policy so she can champion that to her voters.
