In general, Conservative party's policy is pro-business:
. lowering taxes;
. promoting privatization of government services;
. against abortion;
. against bilingualism;
. reduction of public health/social services;
. more restriction on immigration;
. more accepting of large scale sales of natural resources
to foreign countries,
ex. fresh water, wood, natural gas, oil, electricity, etc.
. Less concern with the protection of the environment,
ex. pollution in air, soil, water.
. ... ete.
Whether you like the policies or not
depends on your individual status.
If you are young, healthy, earning high income
then it might be good for you
as you get to keep most of your income
If you are older and need medical or other social services more often,
then it might not be so good for you.
My feeling about the current Liberal government is that
it has been in absolute power for too long
(because of having large majority of the seats in the house)
so it has become complacent, arrogant and then corrupt.
It is about time for it to be humbled in the coming election.
As what they say
absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The Conservative government under Brian Mulroney
also produces a lot of corruption,
probably far worse than the current Liberal government.
Having said that, I still like Liberal's socialist policy better
than Conservative's capitalist policy.
I'll hope for minority Liberal government in the next election
so that it can be monitored more closely by the strong opposition parties. |
