Agreed with the post you stated but how is Harper largely responsible for the ineptitude of the Liberal government? I'm not a big fan of his but responsible for an ineffective government is a stretch.
People shouldn't be scared of the Conservatives or of Harper. It's funny, last election all I heard from people was how scary Harper was but when asked why he was scary, no one could give me an answer. Sometimes it's hip to say media generated words.
Fact is if the Conservatives get into power, very little will change. For some reason people have this notion that the first day in power for a new government, there will be a violent shift 180 degrees. Big government doesn't work that way. I don't like some of the Conservative ideals but I like change. Change is good.
It's time for fresh ideas. The Liberals are stagnant and have been that way for years. Let's try someone else for a change. Who knows they might even do the job as opposed to the current gov't that is doing very little to nothing but collecting taxes and then blowing the wad like drunken sailors on a day pass.
