What CC said. Look, it takes a lot to get me to vote for a Liberal, as a rule. But it would be a hell of a lot easier if either the leader or the members of the party were doing anything. There's always talk, but nothing actually happens. There was a lot of talk about what Martha Hall-Findlay would do if we in Willowdale elected her. Well, she got elected. I see nothing that she has done. (And I'm shocked, simply shocked!) Christ, her fucking red bus has been parked across from Sheppard subway for months -- it may still be there, for all I know.
As I believe Idealistic Pragmatist has pointed out a few times, we don't actually have an Opposition -- at least, not in the Liberals. Maybe in the NDP and Bloc. What we have is a de facto grand coalition. The two largest parties are governing together: one explicitly, one tacitly. Given, then, that the policies of this government are policies that the Liberal Party of Canada clearly has no particular problem with, I see no reason to believe the rhetoric regarding Dion's sudden (1.5 years and counting = "sudden" to some) conversion into the savior of the Canadian way. Or to do anything other than point and laugh at those who do believe it.
