I think a lot of the problem with the way Canadians are being pitched this election is that a majority of them do not understand the actual implications behind the promises being made.
Daycare for all! Sounds nice, but the reality is that it will drag us further into debt.
Down with military spending! Ok.. but ten years down the road when Canada is asked to contribute to a UN or NATO operation and cannot due to a lack of modern equipment, what happens. Or what happens when that lack of modern equipment causes more Canadian soldiers to lose their lives?
Harper is an evil man in contempt of parliament! Ok... the only reason that any of the Liberal governments under Chretien weren't in contempt was because they had a majority. I'm impressed that Harper has managed to keep a minority government going for this long considering how power hungry the opposition is.
