Ive not been surprised by some of the broken promises by the Liberals; they are, after all, an establishment party that plays by the "old school" rules.  I don't buy the line that they couldn't find consensus.  Consensus would have been impossible; their job, if they had meant it seriously, was to look at existing models and propose the one that seemed the best fit for Canada.  And while I haven't been surprised, I've been disappointed nonetheless.
