    We just got the Canadian Future Party, and even though I’m pretty left leaning (both financially and socially), it gives me some faith for conservatives here.

        Translation:

        Allowing the private sector to take a larger role in society with government oversight

        Privatise profits, socialise losses

        Simplifying the tax code to close loopholes in cooperation with the provinces and territories

        Lower overall taxes, austerity

        Ending corporate subsidies and supply management where a return on investment cannot be delivered

        End climate-protecting subsidies

          Point #3 also includes closing government owned entities like the post office.

            Right, and I also forgot privatising things like water and then let them shut off water for poor people who cannot pay like in Chile.

        Their platform made me roll my eyes a bit, the only fiscal conservative that makes sense is when you tax billionaires out of existence. Fiscal conservatism that taxes the poor and doesn’t give them benefits is more neocon bullshit

        Trust me, I disagree with a lot of their policies, but at least they aren’t trying to persecute minorities.
