Let's not forget the $2 billion the Liberals somehow dumped in to a farce of a gun registry database? How the fuck they made that money vanish is way beyond my ability to comprehend. Despite the $2 billion investment , gun violence in places like Toronto has risen astronomically since the registry.
What about that failed helicopter contract the Liberals blew more money on? How many more hundreds of millions was pissed down the drain on that fiasco? But we got a bargain from the Brits on those subs, didn't we? Gotta thank the Liberals for those "previously enjoyed subs" purchased sight-unseen over eBay.
If I were CEO of a huge corporation and embezzled a few million bucks...but at the same time generated big profits for the shareholders, would those same shareholders turn a blind eye to my illegalities and allow me to continue holding office?
Feds aside, here in Ontario we've got McSquinty...yet another douchebag Liberal who would fail every polygraph test known to man. This man couldn't find accountability if it were shoved up his ass in suppository form. I'm hardpressed to come up with a single political issue this clown hasn't waffled on since taking office (oh, except for putting smiles on the faces of overpaid educationalists).

shall we go over all the spending of the previous governments too? You'll see it's ridiculous.
Overall the liberals did a great job - far better than conservatives or NPD would do.
I'm not saying we should piss away billions - I want as much money saved so we can lower debt and taxes. The liberals have showed that's what they do. If the conservatives take power, we'll see where they lead us.
Nothing is perfect and the liberals aren't perfect either - but they're better than any other party right now
