I am not much of a libertarian either but my thoughts were since we have swung soooo far left a libertarian may have been the best way to swing back.

That's a really interesting way of thinking about this. But when a pendulum swings, it achieves almost a great as height on the other side. So if a libertarian is voted in, and after at least one term, when the Canadians grow tired of the libertarian policies, wouldn't there be a big swing back to liberalism/leftism? If this is the case, it probably wouldn't be the best strategy to swing that hard.

Scheer better button up and get it right or its another 20 years of Liberal.

I agree. Otherwise Canada soon won't be Canada, just like a certain other country is barely recognizable today (cough Sweden cough).
