Most of the misaccounted for money wasn't corruption. It was badly spent, and badly accounted for. That's evidence of incompetence. Was there some corruption? I'd bet there was: was it on a large scale? I don't believe it was.
Evidence of incompetence can be balanced with evidence of competence. The Liberals have done a decent job managing the Federal budget for the most part: services haven't been utterly destroyed, and they are running surplusses. And the Canadian economy is doing good.
The alternatives are worse. The Reform 3.0 party is no more acceptable than it was in the first two iterations: simply because they managed a hostile takeover of the PC party, doesn't make them any less kooks.
NDP could be good, but they need more seasoning.
So, I'm hoping for either a NDP/Conservative minority or a Liberal/NDP minority government. I'm afraid of a Conservative/Bloc minority government.
