-Inefficient taxation through no GST - last I heard, GST was still at 5%

- Less gun control - only on rifles and shotguns... which is not a bad thing as most gun violence is a result of handguns. Handgun and full automatic weapon legislation still remains as tough as it has always been

- Lots of control on things are are relatively harmless (marijuana, for instance) - when was the last time you heard of anyone being busted for simple marijuana possesion?

- Internet surveillance and digital locks for the MPAA/RIAA - he's trying to fight terrorism, eliminate internet child pornography, and enforce copyrite laws

- No stimulus spending in recessions - we didn't need it. Canada is doing fine. It would be stupid to spend more to put us further in the whole when it isn't needed.

- Political discourse and criticism is muffled (stronger executive branch of the government, weaker legislative and judicial) - disagree with your judicial statement but as to your other two points, thats what happens when the people elect a majority government.. get over it.

- Access to information is limited - no different than when the Liberals were in power

And those are just the things we know about - more fear mongering?
