The Liberals have (apparently correctly) determined that the vast majority of Canadians just don't care about this stuff and they can get away with it.

I said "hopefully". :P
I agree. I disagree about the fault lying with the general population though. I think this is entirely the conservative party's fault. By continually courting the right fringe they have pulled themselves too far from centre for the majority of Canadians to willingly support them. So the default choice outside of the con base doesn't even consider the cons as a potential option. It's libs if you're ok with the corruption, or NDP if you're not. And Block if you're in quebec.
The conservative party needs to abandon the flank. Repudiate it even. Then claim the center, essentially just run as a non-corrupt liberal party. That's the winning ticket. But they won't do it because they're stuck in "haha own the lib" mode, not stupidly realizing that the vast majority of canadians are pretty much the definition of a Lib.
