Yet the Conservatives seemed to completely ignore this with a weak policy in response. They even left the planting of trees open to the Liberals.
2. They spent far too much time trying to revive the SNC scandal.
3. They failed to control the "Ford factor" with his cuts to education and other things.
4. They should have known that health care was a concern in Ontario and the Maritimes and left that open to the Liberals.
5. They offered next to nothing to Seniors.
6.They should have shown support for the LGBT community by having a few high ranking Conservatives march in the Gay Parade.
7.It appears to me that the people running the campaign, and Scheer himself at times, seemed to lack experience.
I can just see JT's father, Pierre, up there saying, "The world in unfolding as it should".

I said it in the other thread, but there was absolutely nothing in the Conservative platform for young voters.
