Have you put much thought into these? Because it honestly does not seem like it, but rather you’ve just bought whatever was being sold.

Their version of tough on crime is not only unconstitutional, but it would overburden the justice system far worse than it already is now. Tough on crime is fun to say but taking away due process and or forcing more criminals back on the street because due process can’t be completed is your idea of it?

Because you’d rather they be owned by American Republicans with a mandate to promote the right wing, like other prominent media outlets?

Like what? Because safe supply is part of the equation. So what’s the plan?

Carbon levies are having a positive impact on emissions, this is proven, and are necessary if we don’t want to be entirely reliant on the US. Did you have a problem when the Alberta conservative government put them in? Do you have a problem with the fact that conservative provincial governments have no plan to end them even if the Federal government no longer mandates them?

Yes, that’s how elections work, every four years at least. Voting for the past keeps you looking backwards. The Conservatives are promising a worse future for everyone, and that deserves a vote of confidence?
