My recent Blogs have highlighted that all of the current parties in Canada's Underway Election do not have any room for Conservatives...in other words they have all drunk of the Progressive - left of centre coolaide.
Your Mother tells me that I have to lighten up and focus entirely on seeing Canada's worst Prime Minister in history - Justin Trudeau defeated come September 20th Election Day.
Well of course you and I know full well that this is my Blog so I quickly responded to you mum ..."Yes Dear".
So from now on until the 20th I will write my 'Domestic' Blogs with the exclusive purpose of helping to see Trudeau defeated. But before I do ...just one more on the sad state of affairs for us orphaned Tories.
I have spent a great deal of time explaining why Social Conservatives feel unloved and rejected but much less so why we Fiscal Tories should feel likewise.
Let's look at the 3 major Parties from the Perspective of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
In their article appearing in yesterday's Ottawa Sun - Franco Terrazzano and Jay Goldberg perceptibly had this to say:
The New Democratic Party (NDP) - plan to increase income taxes; business taxes, and capital gains taxes; they would also impose wealth taxes; excess profit taxes, luxury taxes; foreign home buyers taxes; and a taxes on internet giants. They have no plan to balance the Budget.
The Liberals (Grits) - since they are the Party in Power, we can rely upon their track record to paint a current picture of where things stand economically. Trudeau's inflation adjusted per person spending is higher than during the Second World War and if he and his party are re-elected, permanent government spending will be $100 Billion per year over what it was in 2019. The Parliamentary Budget Officer forecasts that our National Budget will not be in balance until 2070 ...some 50 years in the future. What he is really saying is "Never".
The Conservatives (Tories) - Taxpayers are told by the Federation not t hold their breath waiting for Erin O'Toole to balance the budget despite their promise to do so "within the next decade". They offer no plans nor propose any credible targets to shrink the deficit so again they will tame the debt/deficit on a wing and a prayer. "In fact, O'Toole is proposing to spend billions the government doesn't have on new programs".
The above will result in Debt and Deficits that will be a major drain on Taxpayers' wallets for generations to come.
And sadly we have no choice but to vote for this.
Now enough of this - let's now turn our attention to defeating Justin Trudeau and his Band of Sycophants and in the immortal words of Val Sears - famous reporter for the Toronto Star said as he boarded their Election Plane during the 1963 Federal Election that Prime Minister John Diefenbaker would lose: "To work, gentlemen, we have a government to bring down".
Boy, those words are even more relevant today.
As I See It...
