Artster, even your woefully naïve view of the LPC cannot have enough colour to dress up the folly of your hero and his gang of sad sacks.  Distasteful as Harper was at times his competence was legion by comparison.  The Cons don't even need a message, all they have to do is point to Trudeau and his band of merry spendthrifts.  Most Canadians now support the CPC, this poll from the end of September. Just imagine the numbers now LOL
