Susan Delacourt is right to point out that all parties are running against Ottawa as it stands to at least some extent.
But it's worth noting as well the fundamental difference between the NDP running on the idea that Ottawa is broken - implying that it can and should be fixed to play a positive role in citizens' lives - and the Cons presenting the position that what's needed is a wrecking ball rather than a renovation. And while the U.S. no longer seems like it'll be providing an example of what the world looks like with no functional government, there's still reason for Canadians to ask for themselves whether their frustrations will be best resolved by renewal or by demolition.
