The registry fiasco is but one of the failures of the previous PC's. There are many more.

Clearly you didn't live in Alberta when registries and liquor stores were government run, no one who experienced those days of inconvenience and wait times would want to go back to those systems. It was probably the two best things the Klein government ever accomplished. OK I do miss the way the liquor store clerks could snap dollar bills when they gave you back change!
