Sad as it sounds, I have to agree here, on the federal level there is nothing good and on the premier level we have a few good ones (As much as I hate to admit it, Brad Wall is one of them) but not many.
But what kind of people run for public office at any level? Resume something like this: professional (often Lawyer), volunteer with this, administrator of that, attends Church X, lifelong community member etc. What can you really expect from these kinds of people? Small c conservative is the rule.
In ON I think we are voting for a Premier who is supposed to be "manager of the family business". Anyone with big ideas or inspiration (i.e. expensive) need not apply.
