Why I simply cannot vote for Harper's Conservatives!

[freewheat]

So you are not voting Conservative? So the, who ARE you voting for? And why?

If you agree with taxing the top 1% say 5% more then in principal why not 50% more. The power is there and it's just opinion on what's fair enough or reasonable. Definately discrimination

Now that was a strange place to post my Canola Crush posting!!!

If people want a balanced budget... we must spend less. The radical change in emissions with removal of sulphur in fuels... has changed pollution and acid rain now not a problem.

PM Harper has made some unpopular decisions that gov. workers do not like... as we have slowed the increase in Fed. Gov. work force. A good job on balance has been done! NDP want double the cost and workers... to regulate our business and lives. Carbon Taxes... Wind Solar end coal generation of electricity... all of which cause a smile on Chinese faces as they laugh all the way to the bank... as our good jobs move to asia.

You guys are so short sighted.

Breadwinnner, if that's what it takes to have a better country then so be it

How many times does it have to be studied and talked about. Taxing has te opposite effect for bringing in revenue. The NDP have never figured that out. Go have a look at California. Most people live there less then 6 months or have out of state businesses. The tax there is killing that state

vvalk. not true some of the Highest growth periods were under higher taxes
The Big fallacy is the Trickle Down theory

Mustardman. Do you think rich people are stupid. If you took all the money in the world and evenly spread it out. Within a few decades all the same people would be rich again. If you tax them they move money around. If you increase wages then you see more automation. Just the way it is. And please give me an example of a NDP government that has left office without a mess. Probably going to use Alberta as an example and it's only really been the last 2 governments under stelmack and Redford both were not conservatives

Freewheat Good question! I will follow my riding's candidates closely - everyone of them - and vote for the one that comes closest to my principles and is the MOST WILLING TO REPRESENT ME IN OTTAWA regardless of the party they belong to. The only one I will not consider is the Conservative candidate because the current government has proven without a doubt it is not willing to listen to the MP and the people they represent but the MP is simply a mouthpiece of the government.

I truly wish I lived in the Alberta riding of St Alberta - Edmonton and had the choice of an independent candidate like Brent Rathberger. Rathberger was a conservative MP who quit the Conservative party in 2013 because, as he said, as a Conservative MP he was no more than a trained seal repeating the talking points of the PMO office. I wish I was represented by someone of Rathberger's principles! And I am most certainly no longer willing to be treated as a mindless sheep expected to vote Conservative just because they have the name Conservative.

Our biggest fiscal scare in Sask was after a conservative gov't .We were on the edge of Bankruptcy . It took the NDP with balanced budgets and an Austerity program to bring us out of that.
Money was finally started to be spent and growth was Already happening when Wall took over.
This was due to high commodity prices.
Mr Wall would like to credit for the Sky being blue but some of know better
(unfortunately I think he's still using Devines calculator to balance books)
