The conservatives are far too religious for my liking and the NDP doesn't even understand what the term "balanced budget" means. Um... sure. Except that the NDP, when it's formed provincial governments, has run balanced budgets more frequently than the Liberals or the Conservatives. It always bothers me how right-wingers have this reputation as being better for the economy, and left wingers as being bad, when there's no proof. An NDP government is much more likely to balance a budget than a Conservative government. | ||

And i think you're right for economy but i think Conservative has done quite a good job. I am just afraid of fools in NDP such as Leo-Paul Lauzon. | ||

They'll probably raise minimum wage to $14 per hour and tax corporations like crazy. I think I'm preferring the economy focus of the conservatives. I feel like we will have weaker communism if NDP gets into power. | ||

Not to mention it's hard to get anything done even if you're in power when you have a minority, I don't see any problems with the conservatives, besides not getting to do what they want to because they have no majority. | ||

Having only like 8 major banks helped a lot. And Bank of Canada has done a tremendous job for years not like Greenspan... | ||

... I went straight home :D More on-topic, I didn't go out to vote because I don't know jack about politics. I'd rather leave my vote out that skew the polls by voting for people/parties in which I am uninformed. I'm sure I'll start voting in the next couple years when I get around to following politics and having actual reason to voice my opinion. | ||

I think they promised a 4% corporation tax raise and small business tax cut. | ||
