Won't disagree with the first part, Flash, but your
ad hominem is well off the mark. Unlike most Liberal partisans here who try to pass themselves off as neutral or unbiased, I have never made a pretense toward political objectivity. But that bias exists as a result of my perceptions of past Liberal governments, and it would take a Liberal government to change them.

Absolutely. And there should be little doubt that Chretien's overt disdain for our province stemmed from this. But it is a chicken and egg problem for the Liberals. They have done nothing in the past several decades to warrant that support, so why should anyone vote for them? And if the Liberals are to be a true federalist party, they need to work for all Canadians, not just those from areas that vote for them.
I'm not prepared to consider them, much less commit to casting a vote in their favour, until they commit themselves.
