We'd probably still be subjected to the endless pining for an increasingly conservative universe. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

He was not what I consider a conservative, just another opportunistic, corrupt, Quebec Liberal lawyer - as his whole end game with Airbus revealed. Maybe a great Quebecer, but NOT a great Canadian. He also caused the death of the federal PC party and the rise of the Reform Party in western Canada. Then we had two parties, the PC and the Reform Party and of course the vote was divided and could never form government. That eventually led to the Canadian Alliance party which joined with the old PC party to form one federal Conservative Party of Canada. O'Toole was more of a liberal and was defeated in the federal election and had to be replaced too. O'Toole wanted to take the party back to the days of the PC Party. I am not exactly sure which way the present Conservative Party is heading. But at least it may be able to get rid of Trudeau and the Liberals for a while. Most Canadians have had enough of them.

You don't think that was Kim Campbell's fault - why? Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

They don't reduce parties to 2 seats just because 'they've had enough' of them. Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
