If the conservative government is so anti-gay, why the heck do they have John Baird and Jason Kenney as party members? Were they just some token gestures to absolve them of homophobia? How many liberal MPs are gay? You have no nuance to your logic. Everything has to be your way or the highway. You don't get to arrive at ludicrous conclusions and think they should stick based upon your faulty arguements. You adhere to your own subjective truth and are unable to distinguish it from reality. I don't think any of the issues are the main reason why the conservatives did so poorly this election. They certainly weren't hurt in the previous one. I think most people just wanted to tip the pendulum the other way (this happens all the time in politics; Americans will most likely elect a republican next year in response to their distaste for Obama).
Many people, including conservatives, wanted Harper gone. Additionally, conservatives are the worst campaigners ever. If you're not at least middle-aged, few of their policies and little of their message relates to anyone below the age of 40. Liberals are more savvy in that they recognize the power of culture and reaching out to young people; i.e. Trudeau and his stance on pot. How many meathead Tweens voted for him asked on this position, alone? Additionally, Trudeau, has excellent charisma (no doubt aided by his drama background), he is handsome, has warm body language and seems like a genuinely nice guy. Contrast that with helmet head Harper, who stands there, looking like a slab of ham, awoken from a thousand year slumber. Who is going to appeal to your average reality television, social media obsessed young person? Image and culture matter in politics, and the conservatives in both Canada and America need to find that out fast or continue to face an uphill battle. How many people actually voted for Trudeau based on important issues? The man has no substance, nor the education needed for such an important role. He would be performing King Lear somewhere if it wasn't for daddy. No one could have honestly thought he was the best choice to lead the country, given the wealth of intelligent liberal MPs and otherwise that would be better suited for that position. Given all of Harper's faults, at least he is an intellectual.
