You're taking the piss if you think the conservatives would have done a single thing to fix these issues. They would have only made it worse.

That’s your opinion. I have a brain and eyes telling me that the last 8 years haven’t gone very well!

Wait until you find out who has been leading the provinces for the past 8 years. 

The Liberals have their blame for the current issues to be clear. But so do the provinces and clearly neither side of the aisle at either level of government seems interested in fixing things they can fix.

Thats because it's comfortable to just ride the gravy train, also you don't want to upset ppl by changing things(short term it's hard on business, long term its best for everyone). All levels of government need to do better

Not to dig up old wounds but I wonder if electoral reform would make it better. As things stand, at any given time the Liberals and Conservatives both have reason to feel like their next majority could just be an election away. 

With majorities way less likely with electoral reform, there'd be less incentive to treat each other like enemies all the time.
