@Drnaline,
Drnaline - how does your comment add to the conversation?
APPLYS should be APPLIES
I did not mention anything about the Canadian political reality. If you know anything about the turbulence of Canadian politics you would know that we have more grassroots politics.
Please learn about the death of the Conservative Party then the birth of the Reform Party and the new rebranded Conservative Party. Here in Canada we actually have the power to kill off political parties.
We gave the Liberals more than a decade of unfettered power. Chretien screwed us over and the Liberals lost bad. Today the New Conservative Party has a minority government but is doing a good job and will probably get to keep their jobs for another year.
Note: Is Canada run by the Desmarais / Power Corp cabal? Old Montreal? Maybe. Fortunately the new wealthy West is starting to take a bit of the Power away from Montreal.
