If he had been a Conservative, he would now have a seat in Parliament, and be a voice for space in Canada, instead of an electoral loser.

This illustrates the warped, counterintuitive nature of space politics vis.a vis conventional politics: Conservatives should be supporters of space projects, yet they scorn any truly progressive thing like space. Liberals could support space projects, but their false progressive stance on issues leads them to scorn space projects as Conservatives do.

Space needs a new socio-economic-political paradigm, as the current type of thinking of all major political parties in the spacefaring nations serves space ill, if at all, and serves to perpetuate the geocentric-static, status quo.

Better luck next time, Mr. garneau. Try Right-Libertarianist-Dynamism. It works better for the future than old tired Liberal-Conservative ideology.
