I'm a PC born and bread, notice I said PC and not conservative.
The Conservative Party of Canada (Parti conservateur du Canada), colloquially known as the "Tories", is a conservative political party in Canada,
formed by the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in December 2003.The party currently forms the Government of Canada (since February 6, 2006), and its current leader is Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
I don't think two parties would merge if they both stood for something completely different, now would they?
I don't believe Steve is good for our country.
Who do you feel is "good" for our country then?
and screwed over several provinces since he took office.
Which provinces are those?
Outside of Newfoundland, why is there virtually no anti-federal support if Steve has "screwed" over as many provinces as you claim he has.
If he's such a lying promise breaker, I think an election would have been called by now.
The only Canadians Harper cares about is the ones that are going to re-elect him (Ontario and Quebec)
Ontario?
Are you sure about that?
The majority of Ontario traditionally vote Liberal.
Atleast 3/4's of Ontario's seats are won by the Liberals, so I fail to see how Ontario is going to help re-elect Harper.
That changing anytime soon is almost as likely as Stephane Dion becoming Prime Minister.
the rest of us he don't really give a rat's ass about.
I beg to differ.
Some PM we have there!!!!
Yes, one of integrity and principles
It's been too long..
He has cut funding for important social programs and screwed over several provinces since he took office. The only Canadians Harper cares about is the ones that are going to re-elect him (Ontario and Quebec) the rest of us he don't really give a rat's ass about. Some PM we have there!!!!
Which social programs has he cut?
I honestly can't think of one off hand.
Even if it were true, I think cutting back on costly social programs is a good thing.
But maybe you love seeing a good percentage of your paycheck go towards welfare mommas and people too damn lazy to get a job.
The Liberals had an absurd amount of social programs in place that were costing us taxpayers a fortune.
The current unemployment rate hasn't been this low in 30+ years, so theoretically, an abundance of social programs have no use..
If you need a job, you'll have no fucking problem finding one out there
How do you think a surplus of billions is achieved?
By funding every social program under the Sun?
No, by making cuts, where cuts can afford to be made.
Would you like a more than generous tax break, or do you want most of your tax dollars to continue going towards social programs which are both flawed, and have a tendency to be taken advantage of?
