The farther left you go, in theory, the more taxes there are. How much tax does Sweden pay?

In fact it was the Conservatives with the GST who last increased our taxes and Mulroney is still hated for it today.
Yes.

Even if our taxes are increased, not that I want this, if it is accompanied by increased services, we have chance to vote on what we want.
And I hope we always vote against it.

As for getting out of Afghanistan, I don't agree with it, but it has nothing to do with gutting the military.
It shows the stance of the NDP regarding the military. If said in their party platform that Canadian troops will be sent abroad according to international security and peace organization wishes, why do they want to pull out of Afghanistan?
