Look
here for a good example of what I mean. Ms Blizzard is close to our provincial CP. Everything is right, but... Ms Blizzard conveniently forgets that after NDP there were Tories here. The Tories had cut spending down to bare bones and seriously hurt lots of people in the process. Yet they left after them a huge budget deficit and lied repeatedly denying that the deficit did exist. You would not read about this in Ms. Blizzard's columns. I do worry about spending and deficit, more than Ms. Blizzard thinks, especially when I look at my tax return. Do you think I should be convinced that Tories will handle economy better than Liberals? What I see now is that both Tories and NDP had left this province in deep red and Liberals are doing more or less decent job trying to get situation under control.
So I think you're right, none of them is any good, and I cannot embrace Greens until they become a real party and develop sound positions not only on environmental issues.
What we want is less of them
Yes, everybody's dream. And for less taxes. No champions of these values among federal parties, I do not see, not a single one. Too bad.
I don't know. I know that corporate welfare has gone up 8 times under the Liberals and the CP wants to end it. Savings there. I really don't care if people get hurt if the result is spending cuts. The more the better. The problem with the people is they want government to solve all their issues. If our pioneers thought this way they would all still be sitting on the other side of a river in Quebec right now. The only reason the Liberals don't have a deficit is they gutted healthcare spending. They send hardly anything back to the provinces now.
In my world, government's number one priority would be infrastructure, then defense. Not art. Patrons can take care of artists. Not bringing cable to eskimos. People will not die not having high speed internet. Not government run daycare. Working families can pay to babysit their own kids.
The Liberals have already showed their true communist colours by finding common cause with the Bolsheviks.
