People have been coerced into believing those on the other side are this evil entity. Right wing has been allowed to become this means to make others less then. Edit: This goes both ways
had any sort of track record that they were actually good for the economy (even Alberta's) then I would probably vote for them.
The don't.
Moot point at best , as its very clear the liberal government as elected are incapable of even understanding fiscal policy.
I'm willing to accept some level of open corruption as the lesser of two evils.
What level of corruption do you feel is acceptable? When will it cross the line for you into not acceptable? This is a problem no matter the level, How would you feel if this was occurring with a government you didn't find yourself aligned with?
I'm not gonna vote for a party who has no interest in fixing problems, because they think the existence of those problems is what will get them elected.
It is very clear, at this point in time, you will not find the resolutions to the problems being suggested by the opposition on main stream media. You want to find PP thoughts on how he is going to resolve what he believes to be current Canadian issues, you are going to need to look elsewhere, He has many. Many wont bother to look however, because sometimes, we dont want to find out.
I see this post as finding reasons why its not in your interest to vote conservative. Some level of moral checklist of why its ok to support a proven failing government with corruption issues.
I get it, your values align with a more social platform, and that is completely fine, everyone is different in this country, lets try not to demonize those with different views then yourself.

I'm not demonizing anyone.
I'm saying that I think the Liberal Government is far from perfect.
I'm also saying that I've followed the CPC and PP quite closely, not just the "Main stream media", and I've found they are severely lacking in any sort of plan/solution for most of our biggest issues. I've also found that PP in particular is doing floating a lot of things that I think will be incredibly harmful to this country.
I'm saying that despite it's current corruption issues, I think the Liberals are better equipped to deal with the current problems facing Canada, and on top of that, they do are not courting the side of the spectrum that I think have some pretty regressive social agendas.
You looked at my post and assumed that I'm not listening to the CPC themselves, and that I'm not up for discussion, which is quite the opposite. Maybe look in the mirror before you tell someone they aren't willing to look at the other side.
