Long time lurker, first time poster, felt the need to express my thoughts on a Internet forum lol.
My argument against the conservatives:
Harper is putting a muzzle on scientists.
Our last minister of science and technology for Canada was a god damn creationist & chiropractor and currently he's a "insurance professional" with a philosophy degree; Like how this isn't a bigger deal I am dumbfounded, instant wtf?
Don't like how they sold gm stocks owned by all of us citizens recently, just so that harper can balance his budget just this 1 time, for less than what it's worth at a future date in order to campaign a "balanced budget".
I don't like the second class citizen stuff. It's worked up until now, why change this? Just more power to the ruling government.
Bill c-51; way too vague with a general description meaning more power and discretion left to the government. (Although Trudeau did support it earlier, don't know the liberal stance on it now)
Why not legalize marijuana? I think everyone can agree it's just a matter of time.... Why not make that time now and make some money off of it? The money is already there and being spent at this very moment, it's not like after it's legalized marijuana consumption will jump up 400% from 0% and have everyone and there dog smoking it.
Why fight it and spend tax payer money on judges, police, and jails instead of making money off of it and doing the opposite; paying judges, police, and prison guards with it freeing up room in the budget?
I like that America has the 2 term maximum. I don't think a democracy should be under the same person in charge for too long, he/she will get too comfortable and loose with laws and regulations.
Let's be honest here; we are voting in career politicians, they aren't the Elon musks, and Albert Einsteins of the world.
Finally, knowing of a upcoming election, beforehand, the conservatives should of had a open restructuring with the public. The current leader of the party stepping down or challenging his potential new replacements in sort of a conservative "Gop debate".
Reading through this forum, other Internet forums, and talking to some friends/family I honestly feel the conservatives would have a lot more support on there side and would be leading in the polls. We have individuals of conservative ideology which are strategically voting to avoid another "Harper government"
