Canada's Liberals are the longest running comedy skit Canadians have seen for a decade. The longer they're in power the more arrogant, profligant, and incompetent they become. Its amazing Canadians tolerate the lot of them.

Unfortunately, the right is split between the Progressive Conservatives, who squandered their credibility 10 years ago and were decimated, and in any case probably would have come up with a similar boondoggle anyway; and the Canadian Alliance, which despite having enough seats to form the opposition, are still largely considered a party of Western discontent and have yet to make any serious inroads in the East, which is crucial if you want to have any chance of becoming the government.

The Alliance was recently plagued with some internal dissent, including the temporary defection of about a dozen members over former party leader Stockwell Day's leadership.

There have been a couple of attempts made to "unite the Right" in recent years, but the Conservatives will have none of it, so the present situation may well continue for some time.

Don't bet on it.This is the beginning of the end for the eastern Canadian liberal establishment. One way or the other, Alberta will rid itself of the liberal muck foisted upon it.The emasculated men and and feminists of Ontario have had their day in the sun. Soon they will be able to sit around and smoke pot without fear of arrest as they piss and moan about all the failed and decrepid liberal policies that might have been.
