That being said I'm probably not going to vote for the CCs and probably give my vote to the Green party. They actually seem to be trying.

Harper hangs with the crowd that whispers loudly about privatizing our health care system "more like the American model"..... not something I'm wiling to support at all. Also, a good % of the PC are reformists who have rejoined the ranks to further party solidarity..... but lest we forget they are still reformists. Let's not go down that road. And before you say it, I've admitted that some of their policies were attractive, but some were downright scary.
Harper supported the war in Iraq. Had he been in power we very likely would have sent our kids over there. I am quite sure he would have embraced Bush's missile defense plan as well. Now, weather I support certain American policies or not, I have never been for Canada moving towards Americanizing further than we already are.
Some of what the PC's propose is good, but with them there is always that "but"..... and their past history a la Mulrooney isn't helping their cause either.
Possibly the Green party will rise from 5 to a full 7 or 8 percent of the popular vote over this scandal. We'll see in the near future I'm sure.
