It;s not surprising that Canadians esteem in Government is dropping like a stone when you consider:

- politicians like Rob Anders and Bev Oda,
- robocalls and the frantic effort to stay out of court
- conflict of interest with the PM's inner circle,
- influence peddling within the PM's inner circle
- convicted money launderers within the PM's inner circle
- Conservative Senator Brazaeau
- the treatment of veterans
- the Parliamentary Budget Officer having to sue to get budget data
- special privileges for Conrad Black
- moving opposite to the rest of the world and relaxing gun control
- George Bush style environmental legislation
- muzzling the press in Manitoba
- calling homeless veteran activists 'communists'
- using SAR helicopters to go fishing
- lying to Parliament about the F-35's
- using medical data to discredit opponents

I don't have time to fill out a complete list. Are Canadians more skeptical about their Government than people in other countries?

Yes, and the Conservatives are the reason why.

hugging and embracing is US nationalpast time, now.too cold for that in Canada.
