As a Canadian, I don't know what the **** you're talking about. KVH has the jist of it. Here in Canada we don't vote our governments in, we vote them out.

KVH is right. Canadian politics are lather, rinse, repeat. When a government finally ***** up too bad, we vote them out. Last time, the conservatives crashed our economy, so we went liberal for about a decade. Now, while the Liberals reconstruct, we swing Conservative for a while - then THEY'LL **** up, and we vote back in Liberal (or *** forbid, NDP).
Canadian politics is hardly about being left or right wing. It's about opposition. What one party says, the other automatically seems to have to disagree, find flaws, and then come up with their own policy opposite to that of their opposition, not at all keeping in line with the political spectrum (in some cases)
