You can try and gate keep who can say "I told you so" all you want, but it is not a boy who cried wolf scenario. Conservativism in Canada has played out pretty much as expected since the Reformers took over the PCs. Each successive government is worst that the last.
If you want an analogy, the boy cried wolf when the wolf ate one sheep and conservatives didn't care. Then cried again when the next wolf ate two sheep and still, conservatives didn't care. Why? Because it was always someone else's sheep getting eaten. But now that the wolves are eating half the flock, suddenly conservatives care?

Harpers mandatory minimums, gutting the census and muzzling scientists weren’t the try to ban abortion and gay marriage that were being pitched. You are making my point conservatives have been okay to poor in general prior to the Kenny election while many were saying they would be a disaster.
No one made a case for a slow decline of government performance.
