The example that Ontario is giving to world at the moment shows conservative = bully. A conservative is someone who believes that their right to swing their arms stops at your nose, unless they didn't notice you standing there in which case, if you get hit, it was your fault for not ducking, but why the hell should they have to be the ones looking where their arms are going? If everybody only worked hard, the same way they did (we had it tough, there were days when our incompetent day care providers didn't stop us from pouring blue paint on the small kid in class and then blamed US for the mess and made us apologize to the little crybaby) we would all be able to swing our arms with complete freedom and those that get hit are wimps, failures and burdens on society.

To be fair there are many people who used to vote conservative in this province that changed allegiance directly because of Mike Harris and his cronies. Their brand of conservatism was incompatible with his tactics and substitution of surface charm and cunning for social intelligence and responsibility.
