The Liberals have to be the bland and boring centrist party that delivers balanced budgets and good governments. They can't do that if they espouse wackadoo leftist ideas like the carbon tax. In short, they have to appeal to Western Canada. House Of Commons seats will shift West after the 2011 Census and most of them will go to Alberta. And if they can't find a way to be competitive in the West, no amount of wins in Ontario and Quebec will bring them back into power.

well they will keep the Conservatives on their toes, which is a good thing. Everyone wishes conservatives had a majority but majorities tend to overreach or slack off, like Bush and Hastert. It is better to move up the slow and steady way than win in one big election only to lose everything a few years later.
