text: I think you meant to say "The current Conservatives...ARE much less appealing". We current Conservatives at least know how to write English properly. I do miss the Progressive Conservative, more specifically the Mulroney government's, commitment to price stability when it introduced the inflation targeting regime at the Bank of Canada and thereafter. In his 10 years in power, Harper kept to the 2% inflation target rate he inherited from Paul Martin and never sought to lower it, as he should have done. However, it had nothing to do with Reform or Christian fundamentalism. In some ways, the new Conservative Party is a little too much like the Liberal Party.
