That's generally what incumbent parties do though. When was the last time you saw any incumbent party, even a minority, campaigning on an actual platform?

Not saying that justifies it, but is it any worse than the Liberal image/emotion campaign with no platform? Not really.

I understand this. I will gladly switch spots with you in Ontario and you can move on over to Alberta. Alberta may have low taxes but it still has it's fair share of political problems lol

That's pretty intellectually dishonest, even for you Jay. The low taxes in Alberta are due to the province's oil and gas revenues. You can't give me this shit about the conservatives being great financial managers when the Alberta Legislature is the most bloated government in North America.

How are they the most bloated government in North America, or is this just a generalized statement. I'm not trying to sound like a dick but are they really?

Alberta has the highest per capita government spending in North America.

Ignatieff has the charisma of a pencil.
True story.

Don't they also have some of the highest per-capita government revenue?

Oil revenue has helped. But the conservative ideology of low taxes and less government interference has helped that business. Its also why Alberta has no sales tax and the lowest income tax in the country. Actually Stelmach is getting a lot of flak right now for imposing a higher tax on oil and gas revenues which has resulted in a lot of investment being withdrawn. And HE is a Conservative. So even Conservatives who try Liberal style stunts are given grief in Alberta. There is talk about handing him a pink slip at the next convention and he is a sitting premier!!! Imagine if the McGimpy had the oil fields? What a disaster that would be! I dont even want to know what kind of waste (and taxes) would exist then.
