>I fear the Conservatives. I'm not kidding.

I don't get it... especially in a minority government. What is it that you fear so much? Of all the fearful governments/political parties in the world, the Conservatives would be way down the list.

At worst, in a couple of years, you throw them out if they f up.

Yes, but the patients died! :) How does that make Martin fiscally responsible? He brags about trimming the debt by $60 billion (which I think *is* great) but did it at the expense of health care.

They didn't spank hard enough!
