correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't this just for families with kids below the age of 6? If so that cuts out a lot of families (including mine)

I do understand the desire to wipe of the Liberals that many feel... if anyone is to blame for this state of affairs it is Chretien and his cronies. I truly feel bad for Martin. He has done everything in his power to clean up the Liberal party. He has instituted the strictest financial auditing system of *any* nation in the world. He just couldn't rule effectively with Chretien's knives so deeply placed in his back.

I keep saying this. but it seems that people are voting for change, rather than policy. The only really good thing that Chretian did (in my mind) was to keep Canada out of Iraq. The timing of this with the Quebec election probably supported the Liberal cause provincially. But other than that, Chretian lost my respect with the pepper spray incident (what a smart ass). The government didn't tho.
