    A significant portion of the voters for conservative – I’d hope most – voted not conservative not because of fear and resentment, but because they believe in conservative fiscal policy.

      Conservative fiscal responsibility has always been a lie though. The voters are just not capable of fact checking it.

        I’m imagining you live in Alberta or Saskatchewan. I hear it’s like that there every election. Or perhaps you’re in a rural riding – I don’t really know anything about how people live there. I’m just thinking big cities.
