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.

Nope, you're 100% wrong. They voted conservative because the sign said conservative. That's it. That is literally all the reason. About 85% of the people I know voted conservative and when I ask them, it's fuck the liberals I'm voting conservative. That's literally all they think.

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.

And that i guess is part of their problem. Nobody thinks about small towns.

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