I don't agree with all of it and the parts I do agree with are somewhat vaguely worded (though I'm sure the local candidate could fill in the details).
It seems to contain things in it that both the right and the left can agree on.
For the left, it's very much in favour of religious and linguistic freedom (even putting the left leaning parties to shame) and an open immigration policy, and decriminalization of the sex trade and drug trades (again to the point that probably many on the left would say it goes too far). It also supports giving indigenous peoples a significant degree of sovereignty. It also intends to significantly expand the freedom to sue a company for pollution-induced harm.
For the right, it's extremely in favour of the right to own a firearm, eliminating official bilingualism in its current form, and significantly reducing taxes and protecting property rights. It also supports deregulation of industry and making health care a completely provincial responsibility.
It seems to be just the mix that makes everyone find points they disagree with and points they agree on.
Though some of its policies bother me, given its chances of forming a government in this election, I think having a few Libertarian MP's in Parliament could be a good thing.
Your thoughts?
