I don't support the Conservatives because of their backwards social policies (see re-opening the abortion debate in the HoC today), and I don't support the NDP because of their ill-advised economic polices. During the Chretien/Martin years, the Liberals ideally matched my values: progressive on social issues while balancing the budget and creating an environment that allowed the economy to flourish. I have absolutely zero confidence that Justin Trudeau can/will do the same.  |
I'm at the point where I don't care who the leader is, as long as he's electable. The Liberals could have Alex Burrows as leader and they'd still have better policy than the Conservatives.
