I really can't see anything in the Liberal's platform that would help my family very much, or at all. Some huge spending in there for I'm not sure what gain.

The F-35 cancellation promise is disingenuous IMO...the CF-18s must be replaced, they only have a few years left in their airframes. There is nothing else on the market that compares to the F-35 (F-22s are not for sale). What will the Liberals do if the F-35 wins the competition they are promising? Or will they rig the requirements towards "anything but the F-35" a la the ongoing Sea King fiasco (the Cyclones are STILL not operational).

Meanwhile the taxes on our business would increase. The Liberals seem to be overlooking, or ignoring the fact that many small businesses are incorporated.
