It's just boggles my mind that there are any voters left in this country that are prepared to support the liberal party in the wake of all the scandal and corruption being uncovered. Exactly what would these criminals have to do to lose votes?

I have a large list of e-mail friends in Russia. I think canadians should look to Russia for a peek at their future if they continue on their current path.

One of my friends works in a toy store in Moscow and lives in relative luxury. Another is a Doctor who lives in a hostel treating drug addicts to pay for her room because she is an impoverished employee of the government.

It isn't a mystery. Ontario (and Quebec to a lesser extent) are the reason why the federal Liberals are always kept in power. The Liberals know this which is why 99% of government pork goes to these two provinces.

People in these two provinces know that as long as the Liberals are kept in power, they will always benefit from government financing of projects and jobs.

Things would be different if we had equal MP representation due to population size but we in the West only get half the number of seats as our eastern counterparts (e.g., it takes 200,000 people per MP in the west whereas it only takes 100,000 people per MP in the east). [Don't know the exact ratio - just for illustration]. Naturally the Liberals won't allow the fairness of equality to occur because they will lose power since we in the west primarily vote for the Conservatives.
