The problem is the closest thing to an actual fiscally conservative part is the Liberals (who actually in policy are very conservative despite spewing left wing rhetoric, I know it doesnt make sense but its true), however for obvious reasons they shouldn't be in power. If only the conservatives would maintain the same policies as the liberal party (for the most part) but yet be an entirely different party then that would be perfect.
The NDP I could never vote for, they propose such ridiculous concepts as a 13% increase in corporate taxes, I can understand (although disagree) the justification for increasing, but by 13%!!
And then the conservatives, or shall I say the canadian version of the republican party with even more socialist policies. They propose "radical" tax cuts (which ultimately won't actually be all that much, and mostly in the wrong areas imo) while increasing spending AT LEAST 90 billion and having cuts to programs of NO MORE then 30 billion. Thus in a best case scenario they will have AT LEAST 60 billion in new spending, with a lower revenue generating income. Also nothing agrevates me more then their damn "childcare" policy. Lets call a spade a spade, its a friggin vote buying scheme, which not only costs more then the liberals, but actually does NOTHING to help the problem, and in some disfunctional families will likely make the problem worse.
Then to make the problem even worse I have Rob Anders in my riding for the Conservatives. He has said so many stupid things throughout his career that even the conservatives consider him a liability and wont let him debate at all. When he was with the reform party as the opposition human rights critic he voted against giving Nelson Mandela honorary citizenship. HOW FRIGGIN STUPID CAN YOU BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
