Really liking the Conservatives so far.

I think it's pretty clear from question period that the middle class tax cut isn't going to be the only botched Liberal platform policy. The questions from the Conservatives may have been loaded, but that isn't an excuse for Morneau to ignore a simple criticism. If they were wrong once, why should we believe they won't be wrong on the rest of their tax policy including income splitting and the UCCB? The lie is too convenient, especially when it's followed up with blaming the last government. Anything to get elected I guess.

The questioning was completely dodged by Morneau twice, just like every other question asked of the Liberals.

I don't get the fighter jet policy. I can understand if we withdraw completely, but this appears to be purely politics. The Liberals admit that we're still going to be helping out just as much, so why not lend our fighters to the effort? It seems like they're trying to play the opinion that bombing only creates more terrorists, yet they're still effectively in support of bombing. I really liked when Ambrose questioned why Obama didn't mention us as a US ally, but mentioned the UK and France.

As an aside:

I voted for the provincial NDP. I voted for the federal Liberals.

I regret my NDP vote. They felt the need to take things to the extreme and have done nothing but be everything that I was warned about. Incompetent ministerial selections, a love for the unions, and a clear disdain for the oil and gas industry.

I'm starting to regret my Liberal vote. Not as strongly, as I didn't really want to have to vote for them in the first place (too much Harper stink), but still regret.

How does the saying go? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...
