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.

The fact that they spent our money badly and/or accounted for it badly should be enough to toss the Libs out. A billion here a couple billion there...
Maybe the sponsorship scandle wasn't large scale to you, but to me and many others it's huge. The act itself of corruption and decet is the issue, not the dollar amount.

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.

With respect, the NDP ran this province into the ground in the ten years they were in power. The idea of a federal NDP is quite scary to me. I do agree that a minority gov would be the best choice for all concerned.
Reform 3.0....
