It's also worth noting, when you look at the long term costs of the UPC governments ill advised corporate welfare, it should be measured in the billions. You look at Bush II's dumb war, trillions. You look at Trumps tax cuts trillions. Reagan / Friedman gutting the regulatory state tens of trillions in public losses. Klein's infrastructure deficit at least hundreds of millions in future costs that didn't need to be incurred.
Generally what we have seen out of conservatives, is short term costly thinking that puts the low level background level of Trudeau corruption to shame.

Yeah, that’s probably a fairer assessment than what I offered. I think the overwhelming message, though, is however you choose to vote, the belief that the NDP is going to financially ruin the country while the Conservatives will be good financial stewards is about as bogus as typical Conservative claptrap gets. Like you might as well just admit you haven’t had an original thought in your life.
