You are right, I did attack your character. Im sorry. There has been several instances in the past where you have attacked mine, and I chose not to reciprocate. You often attack posters in direct or passive aggressive means.

Let’s keep it simple.
Things the UCP successfully did (Consequence):
- Lowered corporate taxes. (Most likely reducing tax revenues when we were trying to pay down debt)
- Eliminated and/or reduced worker protections in the Labour Code (Never a positive for working people, they also implemented no additional protections for essential workers during the pandemic)
- Lowered the minimum wage for workers under 18 (Brutal move from the worker’s point of view but also put business owners at risk of having a human rights complaint filed against them if they were naive/greedy enough to pay their employees the reduced wage)
- Bought a pipeline (The project was cancelled as expected and the taxpayers are out over $1B)
There’s more but are you not seeing a trend in who their policies are designed to help? Hint: It’s not the majority of people who live here.
