Antiloop:
"The truth is, a majority (or near majority) of Canadians dont care about the environment, envy the United States, want tax cuts (ie more money for themselves), dont really have much concern for social issues, and tend to view government in a negative way and would rather see the lot of them disappear than actually do anything that will result in real change..."
I don't believe that's true. A large minority, yes, but not a majority or near majority. Though large swaths of the country are routinely referred to as "conservative", overall this is actually one of the more progressive nations on earth in many ways.
"...The remaining Canadians who do care about such issues are divided among the NDP, The Bloc, The Green Party and more left of center members of the Liberals. Without this strength in numbers of putting support behind a single party, there isnt much hope for anything less than a Conservative minority"
This, on the other hand, I believe is true, which is why I think it's time for the NDP to fold, and for a new centre-left party to be created to replace it. It is clear to me that the NDP will never form a government in this country, mainly because of an apparently unshakeable perception problem rather than an inherently unpopular platform. Imo, Canada is essentially centre-left in nature, yet there is no national party at the moment that truly reflects these values. Reform/Conservative and the Bloc have proven that new parties are currently entirely viable, and in short order. I'm confident that a new federalist centre-left party, unbeholden to unions and untarnished by the past like the NDP, presenting a more 'pro-regulation' than 'anti-business' stance, and sporting a young, charismatic, preferably Quebecois leader, could form a government within two or three election cycles of inception. I don't think it's any secret at this point that Canadians all over the country are wishing for alternatives to the current crop of parties. There seems to me to be a yawning vacuum in the federal political landscape that, strangely, mirrors what I believe are the core values of the nation. Fill that vacuum with new blood and a blank slate, and I think you could clean up from coast to coast.
