We've had governments fall for a lot less. Amazing what it takes to bring this one down.
100 year government contracts for buddies? Nah, give us something worse!

Here's the thing.
If I had any faith that the CPC had the ability to effectively govern, to not court the extreme right wing of their party/society, to actually act on things line climate change, to not marginalize already marginalized groups, and had any sort of track record that they were actually good for the economy (even Alberta's) then I would probably vote for them.
The don't.
The CPC looks like such a terrible option, that I'm willing to accept some level of open corruption as the lesser of two evils.
This isn't some sort of argument of "You think the Liberals are bad, just think how bad the CPC would be" based on nothing, this is based on exactly what PP has shown, and told me who he is/what he wants to do.
All he has done so far is come up with pithy nicknames for people/policies.
He hasn't offered anything resembling an alternative plant/solution to any of our problems.
I'm not gonna vote for a party who has no interest in fixing problems, because they think the existence of those problems is what will get them elected.
