Doomed to? Most of what you mention is already a reality!
the sad reality is that the leadership of the New Conservative party is messing up big time, keep saying the wrong things at the wrong time, not taking advantage of opportunites for example why are they being so coy about missile defence?
for example John Tory, the new leader of the Ontario provincial Conservative Party said why isn't Harper siding with Dalton McGinty in his fight vs Ottawa who blatantly shortchanged Ontario in favour of Quebec??????
It's a no brainer, the last budget was just another example of the pro Quebec bias in the federal Liberal party
is it because Harper doesn't want to piss off Quebec, please, the Conservatives will gain a seat in Quebec when hell freezes over or they find a Quebec born conservative like Mulroney, and he would gain brownie points with the rest of Canada
a lot of Ontarians, myself included, conservative and liberal are sick and tired of funding Quebec's blackmail scheme at the expense of the standard of living in our own province
