Its simply not true; historically the Liberals and Conservatives (under the current or old version of the party) have had almost identical results in terms of the markets, interest rates, and almost all other metrics.
So if the economy doesn't change regardless of which party is in power, all the more reason to elect the Liberals. Because what they can directly change is social policy, which Canada has lagged behind badly in since Harper took control
