Well, JHD your post is a bit radical but I agree with your general idea. However, our politics are a bit messed up right now with a minority goverment, always on the brink (?) of collapsing....And to be truthful, Canada has not much bested itself since the tories are at power...but they most probably will win the next elections. And with a canadian FOX, maybe they will get enough suport to be a majority ruling goverment (
)
About your "putting an idiot in office twice" thing, it is genereal consensus in our province that (Jean Charst, Quebec, and thats actually Three times!!!) we have done just that! And were stuck with him for another three years!!!!
Anyway, I cant wait for a leader or party, beit conservative, liberal, NPD or watherve to elevate the debate, ideas and passions for progress instead of petty bickering.
