A recurring assertion in your posts is that there are planks in the Alliance platform that are objectionable to voters to the east of Manitoba. Does that mean that voters in the west think in a fundamentally different way from voters in the east? If so, is that not a recipe for separation? Or, does it mean that voters in the west have a different perception of the platform than voters in the east? That voters in the west, motivated perhaps by their alienation, actually listened to the people who wrote the Alliance platform, hearing it from the horse’s mouth. Whereas voters elsewhere heard it through the filter of the established media, the carriers of political correctness, for whom accountability to taxpayers is anathema? To the extent that this discussion was ever profitable at the abstract level of “the platform”, that line has been exhausted. It might be interesting to take individual policy proposals that you consider to be bones of contention. You infer, for example, that there are specific provisions that are “intolerant” or against diversity. If you care to identify any such specific planks, perhaps the discussion might become more concrete and productive.
