Asking for PP's policies is a cursory examination, you are saying you do not need to consider his policies, just vote for him.

That's not what I said but let's go with what you think I said in the spirit of progress...
Consider the policies and then we can have a discussion...

Yes, because you use it to shut down debate on issues you disagree with.
'prove how every dollar from a carbon tax fixes climate change' type bullshit when you disagree but then you won't do basic math for things you do back.
The only numbers in that document are page numbers and section headings. It is
Affirmations and wishful thinking. There is no meat in there for meaningful discussion.
Asking a question is not shutting down a debate.
Running away from a question and calling people names because you can't or won't answer the question is shutting down a debate.
PeePee says he'll legislate a balanced budget and also cut taxes.
What will have to be cut to make that happen?
It's more than enough to know what they stand for. Not sure how much clearer they can be on the carbon tax for example. Why would you expect detailed policies to be released so far in advance of an election? No party does that not even the NDP or Greens.
Are you giving the Libs a pass for 10 years of reckless inflationary spending and a long list of boondoggles that have created a mess in this country just because you haven't seen finalized policies by other parties?
Good luck with that.
That's what political parties usually do closer to elections. Most of the time, the "specific measures" you are talking about are some kind of promises or goals that are announced as part of the election campaign.
Any party can promise anything. Doesn't mean it will be done or not. So basing your selection on promises is not a complete strategy.
Better to judge the current party's performance and then determine if a change is required. If yes, then you would go with which party aligns with your ideals based on the promises and goals they have announced.
I did not expect detailed policy at this time which is why I said in post #128 about waiting for more details of PP's policy.
You replied to post 128 which lead you to post the CPC book of affirmations, when I pointed out it was fluff you then blame me for expecting detailed policy at this time.
Is it really that difficult to discern what their published policies will most likely translate into as far as final bills, direction, etc?
Is it not better to assume that the current government's track record is one that requires them to be booted from office? If the answer is yes, then it's really a choice of which party's ideologies you align with.
Any party can lay out policies, promises and goals in advance of an election...it's what they actually do once elected that is the real measure.
Yes, they posted impossible fluff.
Cut taxes, spend more and no deficits ever again.
Only an idiot thinks that can happen and wouldn't ask to see how they think its going to happen.
You won't get anything specific and super detailed from anyone. You can only judge the track record of the current government and then based on high level details, you make a decision as to replacing them or not.
No one will give you a detailed plan until they are in office and actually pass it through legislation, etc. You will only get promises and goals before then.
So if you're waiting for a detailed plan to make you decision, that is the wrong approach.
So vote for him and see...what can I tell you?
Unless you're very satisfied with the current government then keep them in power.
It's not difficult really.
So you're now saying backing PeePee's plans are as stupid as you think backing Trudeau's plans are?
Ha! That's a good one!
btw they had their turn (in Ontario). Ever wonder why they never had another turn?
That's how bad they were.
btw must be a pain for you being forced to support and defend Trudeau all these years, when you're really an NDPer. How have you coped? Serious question.
You do realize that lefties are averse to math and statistics. Some of them think its racist.are you really that slow
the whole thread is about voting for the federal party
PC got 41 votes
Libs got 13
that is more than 3 to 1
and you voted for NDP which got only 5 votes
that's 8.2% of votes
that's like less than 10 %
so if there were 10 guys NDP wouldn't even be 1 guy
it would be like a really small guy
Because they would follow the same path of the Liberals but on a worse scale. Their policies would turn Canada into Venezuela.
