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.

This is a pretty good example of the current rift in Canadian politics and the Canadian population.

People have allowed themselves to fall into the same issues we see in the US, Where people wont even talk to each other if they are of opposing political views. People have been coerced into believing those on the other side are this evil entity. Right wing has been allowed to become this means to make others less then. Edit: This goes both ways

Moot point at best , as its very clear the liberal government as elected are incapable of even understanding fiscal policy.

What level of corruption do you feel is acceptable? When will it cross the line for you into not acceptable? This is a problem no matter the level, How would you feel if this was occurring with a government you didn't find yourself aligned with?

It is very clear, at this point in time, you will not find the resolutions to the problems being suggested by the opposition on main stream media. You want to find PP thoughts on how he is going to resolve what he believes to be current Canadian issues, you are going to need to look elsewhere, He has many. Many wont bother to look however, because sometimes, we dont want to find out.
I see this post as finding reasons why its not in your interest to vote conservative. Some level of moral checklist of why its ok to support a proven failing government with corruption issues.
I get it, your values align with a more social platform, and that is completely fine, everyone is different in this country, lets try not to demonize those with different views then yourself.
