The Alberta PCs somehow lost their way after the great Peter Lougheed. Federally, the scandals of the Mulroney governments and the subsequent almost complete collapse of the PCs in Parliament, paved the way for Harper and the awful CPC. In Ontario, the excesses of Mike Harris torpedoed the PCs with the party refusing to move back to the middle ground under either Hudak or Brown. Bill Davis was indeed the last great Conservative leader in Ontario.

I intensely dislike polarised partisan politics having grown up with it in the UK and it was a breath of fresh air to find the Liberals and PCs in Canada both in touch with the real world in both business and social needs. I would dearly love to boot Wynne and the Liberals out in Ontario but there's no way I can vote for the current PCs and Horwath is politically inept (how else can you explain giving up the opportunity to influence provincial policy for the opportunity to lose seats and help a Liberal majority?!).
