What platform are the Conservatives running on? What are their aims/goals/policies that they will follow? Why should the average Canadian vote for them?
Their stand on climate change is to bury their head in the sand like an ostrich. My solution would be to pipe the nearest smokestack exhaust to the elected MPs house.... Kinda like breathing directly from your car's ICE exhaust....Pollution control and air quality will go way up, and more renewable energy plans approved; all in the interest of providing clean indoor air to the local MP.
Have to hand it to Harper for cutting the GST to 5%. If Harper won the last election, he would of further cut government expensives (departments), cutting into major programs and well needed upgrades for government services., cause that would of been the only way to make up for the loss in renvenue from oil prices which he was basing the future income of the government (he put his eggs all into the oil basket, and when oil fell from over 100/barrel, the eggs broke).
The next majority government will have to raise the GST to 6%. or 7% to bring back the pay down the debt. Or find new sources of income, probably off non-renewable resources like oil, gas, metals and minerals. Every body love the tax word....
Cutting taxes- Look at the shit BC is in, due to Liberal and NDP governments promising to lower the BC taxes in the early 2000s .... It got so bad the last Liberal government in BC, allowed money laundering to take place at government casinos....
As for Native claims, the federal government will go broke, trying to fulfill all their treaties with the Natives (hundreds of billions if not trillion of Cdn dollars)...
AS for the Foundation....
www.trudeaufoundation.ca/en/about
"The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is an independent and non-partisan charity established in 2001 as a living memorial to the former prime minister. In 2002, with the support of the House of Commons, the Government of Canada endowed the Foundation with the Advanced Research in the Humanities and Human Sciences Fund. The Foundation also benefits from private donations. By granting doctoral scholarships, awarding fellowships, appointing mentors, and holding public events, the Foundation encourages critical reflection and action in four areas important to Canadians: human rights and dignity, responsible citizenship, Canada and the world, and people and their natural environment."
It is a charity... Has to meet certain criteria as a charity. For people with only grade 8 education, pls use google....
Grade 9 students today can barely read, look at how they text (a comment on the overall education system today of passing failing students to keep par with their like aged classmates). A good communicator today really has to spell it out... I am typing very slowly, so you can keep up; it would take more than 2 or 3 sentences to tell people how the Canadian Electoral System works. JB was using sarcasm; for people with Grade 8 education; again they can use google...
Just to let you know 68.5% of voters voted in 2015 federal election....The Liberals had 39.9% of the popular vote.
I will most likely vote Liberal to stay the course of things in motion. People need help and support. Not a cut in support.
