The Conservatives ran a campaign in June 2004 with promises including a major boost to Canada’s nearly bankrupt military (thanks to years of virtually treasonous liberal ineptitude). Conservatives’ promises included new ships, aircraft, equipment, soldiers… almost as if defending our nation was important. Can you imagine?!
Naturally the Liberals responded by mocking them in ads and in speech after speech, and denying the need for any major financial reparation to our military in these peaceful terrorist-free times; and for a military which they claimed at the time was still proud and great and merely in need of a little TLC, some more bureaucrats, and some new “Canada” logos.
The Conservatives also ran on a platform of reducing taxes as a major priority. Both personal and corporate taxes. Canada is among the most heavily taxed developed nations thanks to the liberal-left and all the wonderful socialist social programs.
The Liberals responded by denouncing the Conservatives’ tax reduction plan and promoting the idea, instead, of ramping up our welfare-state even more by increasing social program spending and introducing new ones, in their effort to model Canada as closely as possible after their beloved Cuba, North Korea, and the now sadly (for them) dead (failed) (socialist) Soviet Union.
How many other great ideas are they going to steal from the Conservatives and claim as their own, despite running a campaign against those ideas?
Why don’t Canadians just vote for the Conservatives and get good leadership, moral values, strengthened social foundations, and honesty to boot?
The federal Liberals are poised to make the largest single investment in Canada’s cash-strapped military in more than two decades today when Finance Minister Ralph Goodale announces he will boost the Armed Forces budget by more than $12 billion over the next five years.
Sources also have told CanWest News Service the government is expected to offer across-the-board income-tax cuts by raising the basic personal exemption to $10,000 from $8,012, effectively removing one million Canadians, including 200,000 seniors, from the tax roll.
Of course on the other hand, there’s tons of Liberal mimicking of NDP-style socialism in their effort to be just like their beloved Cuba and the failed socialist nation once known as the Soviet Union. They really ought to mimic the conservatives. Doing what’s right is always better than doing what feels good. But then that’s a conservative thing and I don’t expect them to cotton onto that anytime soon.
