Lower taxes and they believe, by default, that conservatives are better stewards of tax dollars. If you ask them, they'll bring up how the NDP wasted $160,000 by paying an out-of-province company to replace light bulbs. What never seems to enter their minds is the $80M spent on Turkish Tylenol for Tots or $1.6B on a pipeline to connect to another in the U.S. that everyone in the world knew was not going to be built.
