I place blame on people who voted way more however. I said it before the election and i say it now...you are condoning what he has done with every X marked on a ballot for the Liberals. Canada likes to think we are morally superior as a collective to the rest of the world...we are not. It was just proven in spades.
I mean if that laundry list of transgressions and law breaking and moral bankruptcy isnt enough to turf him...no idea what else there is short of committing a felony or what ever the Canadian equivalent is called these days.

I don't think you can blame the voters on this. Scheer and the CPC didn't articulate how their plans were good for the whole of Canada. He didn't do a good job on selling the CPC. Further, like others have said, he could have done more to court the favour of the moderate Canadian, rather than trying to hold on to the vote of degenerates. Maybe Scheer didn't say outwardly hostile or hateful things, but he unfortunately courted them, and so guilt by association. The population centres are where he should have been looking for votes, and those are where educated, liberal-minded voters are.
Alberta and Saskatchewan would have been better off voting for the Liberal Party and having at least some say in government. At least the fear of consistuents that might vote them out next election might have pushed them towards some action. CPC just takes the votes here as a given. Not really sure what good the CPC is going to be able to do from the sidelines.
