So what are you beliefs and values that would lead you to support the PCs?
1. Embezzle money through the PMs office to silence a corruption investigation of a Torie appointed Senator and fundraiser.
2. Cancel the long-form census thus making statistical data on demographics worthless.
3. Provide a tax cut to the richest 2 quintiles of Canadians.
4. Spend hundreds of millions/billions on needless welfare destroying projects: crime and prisons, auto-bailouts, fighter jets.
5. Cut funding to scientific research and silence government researchers from speaking publicly.
6. Attempt to pass a democratic reform agenda which is actually a way to make voting more difficult for supporters of other parties and to make themselves less accountable to an arm's length electoral agency.
7. Neuter the office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer after his evidence based analysis of government budgeting demonstrated significant fudging of cost and benefits. In other words get rid of accountability checks.
What does voting for this party say for your "values"?
