On that day, about 40 of the 80 appointments made by the cabinet were filled by Liberals who either contributed money to the party, ran as party candidates in previous federal and provincial elections, or worked on Liberal election and leadership campaigns. The total annual salaries of the 80 jobs filled is more than $3.8 million.
So really, the only thing that's changed is the name signing the cheques.

No doubt.
It's too bad most of the Conservative supporters in Canada don't seem to be as upset as they should be. Either most of them are just realists (in that politicians cannot be trusted no matter what they espouse) or they never really believed Harper's claims in the first place.

It's kinda like sports. If someone on your favorite team fouls a player on the opposite team, you might think to yourself "yeah that was a foul all right" ,but do you howl about it to the ref? Probably not.
