On crumbling support

There's no doubt that the Cons are pulling out all the stops to try to prevent the elected majority in the House of Commons from carrying out the will of Canadian voters. But it's worth pointing out that at least some Cons recognize how pointless the effort is:

"To my mind, all that would simply do is delay the situation to another day."

Which leads to an important question for all the donors the Cons are pursuing in the wake of their self-generated crisis: why throw money at an ad campaign which even some Cons acknowledge to be futile?
