Or at any rate policies the electorate doesn't dislike in the future.  The Bank of International Settlements---the bank of central banks---has said that Canada is showing signs of a made in Canada financial and banking crisis a few years down the road.  If that happens,  with the government needing to prop up financial institutions while less able to do so thanks to increasing deficits,   together with the inevitable made in Canada recession. the name of any government and its policies will be "mud",  just as that of the Republicans was in 2008.  Lisa Raitt then would make a very attractive alternative.
