That's not true. The PCs were desimated, and it would have taken forever for them to get back in power (I'm talking like a hundred years). The way it went down was the only real way. There's no way the PCs would be a contender by now, let alone with the 99 seats the Conservatives have right now. Just look at how shitty they did in Ontario compared to what they expected would happen. And all the people running in Ontario were old PCers.

Yes the PC's got totally served, but that doesnt mean they wouldnt have recovered in time with new leadership.
What, are people supposed to vote liberal majority for 100 years?
I dont think so. Political parties can recover from anything given 10 years or so and new leadership.
So long as jackasses like preston manning dont stir shit up with populist regional parties that spend the next 20 years bitching about all the other regions rejecting their precious opinions.
The only reason the conservatives lost support is because they are not the PC's. They lost those Ontario votes they expected because people woke up and realized that this party is not the PC's of old.
An opposition in the form of a PC party with a moderate conservative at the head could have won this time if not sooner had it not been for Reform gaying it up and grabbing all that alberta support.
The Bloc doest help either, effectively making it impossible for anything but a liberal party to hold power
