Conservative campaign workers are easier to train

Yesterday I got my first taste, I think, of the Conservative Party ground campaign for the 2008 federal election. I had on my Tournant Vert button and was walking around downtown Kingston, Ontario. A fellow out of the blue turned to me and muttered some anti-environmentalist stuff ending with "... green shaft" before walking away.
Then it occured to me that the C's have an easy time training their volunteers. I can imagine it now. One guy with a bullhorn shouting, "Repeat after me, 'greeen shaaaft'".

You could be an average non-politically active voter walking by a Conservative supporter. It's one thing to insult a candidate or party; it's another to insult a voter.
