Wanton bribery is a rather serious symptom of a broken government.

Have you checked the polls lately? Do you remember the results of the last election?
>"I'd rather have the liberals in power and scamming us than the conservatives."
Lesser of evils. Sure. As for me, the issue comes down to taxes and laws: as in less taxes, less laws. Decentralization of power. More provincial autonomy. Less social engineering. Less Kafkaesque bureacratic machinery wasting resources and complicating the system.
So ya, if you haven't figured out already, I have strong libertarian tendencies, which doesn't make me a conservative, but sure as hell doesn't make me a socialist either.
>".....waste millions just to have the Canadian people to tell us they want Paul Martin as PM again. Great idea."
Considering the circumstances, I think another election is very much in order. If the libs had a majority government I might agree with you. But federal politics in this country is in a very amorphous state. You say Harper wants to bring government to a halt. I say the liberals want to bring the democratic process to a halt.
But we can go on arguing politics like this forever. Let's just see what happens and cast our votes when the time comes.
