"Canadians, however, like to play fair. That's why the liberals get to run things for 15 or 20 years, and once they mess things up (usually by taking voters for granted), people bring in the Tories and politely entertain their government ideals for 4-8 years. Tory governments in Canada are like Liberal time-outs, where they try to learn from their fuck-ups. Once the public concludes they have, back into government they go."
