Kali, it looks increasingly like the Liberals are your best bet then Kali. They have been the fiscally conservative, socially liberal party for the past decade and a bit.
The Conservatives are just more neo-con nonsense. That said, despite Harper's own socially conservative bent, he is a politician that can see where the vote lie. As a result his policies and actions have shifted, bit by bit to a more socially liberal slant (small bits by bits).
He is trying hard to be everything to everybody on the right (ie appeal to the PC vote on Ontario and Quebec while also appealing to the Reform base in Alberta and BC). It worked for him in the last election.
My worry is that once he is in a majority situation, he will do what he pleases and damn the consequences.
