Editors, the Gauntlet

I would like to ask why the Conservatives were the only party that failed to respond to the WSPCA election survey (Party responses: tinyurl.com/4uv36f ) and the Canadian environmental survey sent to them by a coalition of 30 citizen's groups, (Party responses tinyurl.com/4s4nn7).

Are they too ashamed of their repugnant pro-cruelty and anti-environment positions as evidenced in numerous speeches from the likes of Ritz, Ambrose, Harper, etc.? Or haven't [Australian] PM [John] Howard and President Bush, said anything about Canadian environmental issues or Canada's lack of cruelty laws to have anything to plagiarize from? If Conservatives are this incompetent and disrespectful to us, the electorate, during an election, just imagine how horrible they'll be with a majority government.
