Now will the Tories bring Canada back from socialism?
The mainstream Canadian political spectrum isn't that broad.
Here's an old joke that might illustrate things:
Liberals said vote for me - we will take care of you from Birth to Death.
Conservatives not to be outdone said - vote for us we will take care of you from the Womb to Tomb.
NDP said don't listen to them we will do better - we will take care of you from Erection to Resurrection.
(BTW -- I remembered it, but wanted to check the exact wording -- found this on "The Roadkill Diaries" blog.)
No way.
I doubt it.
They may keep it from plunging deeper into socialism and communism, but they aren't likely to reverse much of what has been done.
Cutting entitlements is very difficult and the Tories don't have close to the number of seats needed to do it.
I think there's a decent chance that Canada can start doing things for the good of canada rather than the liberal party using government funds to buy power any way they could.
It's a step in the right direction, but Canada is still the same country it was before the election.
