There's a reason Michael Moore refers to either/both of the two major US parties as "Republicrats". They're one and the same. As Jello Biafra commented: "The Republicans are on the outside what the Democrats are on the inside."
It's the same up here. When the Chretien government defeated the Mulroney Tories in '92, they ignored just about everything they had campaigned on, and essentially continued where Mulroney left off...signing NAFTA, refusing to shitcan the GST etc etc etc.
There's always Nader. This might seem like a wasted vote to many people, but if more people supported a third party, maybe the other two might wake up and smell the coffee. Or not.
