They were crap in the 1980's and they're crap now.

Mulroney killed our vaccine mfg and made all kinds of cuts to public transport funding in the 80's.

Like Applegrove mentioned they were non-party status afterwards until they merged with right wing fringe parties.

As I said to my wife, the PC's used to be just crooks.

Now they're crooks and nazis.
