JonB2004, I would recommend that you rename your thread — Canadian Politics is quite general. "Contrasting Tax Cuts," for example, could be deemed to be more appropriate. I am not an Administrator or a Moderator or anything, so you don't have to; just a suggestion.

RE: Canadian Politics
I would assert that perhaps the plan of the Liberal Party of Canada is better since resources are directed to where they are needed in particular, rather than directing them to each and every family, regardless of whether or not they need the assistance (in terms of child care).

RE: Canadian Politics
The tax that hurts Canadians the most is the Gas Tax.
The reason it is so damaging is that it structured as a percentage and not at a rate per liter tax.
It taxes people the air they breathe, and it must be paid regardless of income or ability or choice to spend.
It raises the cost of living regardless how one lives including the poor and disproportiotantly higher.
There is not reason for it being the way it is and is a windfall tax that all governments are curretly sharing in to be awash with cash.

RE: Canadian Politics
Its been over a month and I'm still really confused on how people let the Conservatives in. The last time voters let the Conservatives in, they ran a $42 billion deficit, instated the GST, made huge budget cuts to health care, and a whole bunch of other things. I hope next time voters go to the polls, they think twice before voting Conservative.

In Atlantic Canada we are being taxed to death, 15% on everything including a funeral. I loath all the political parties, politicians are natural born liars, cheaters and power junkies. I don't trust any of them.

RE: Canadian Politics
If it's any consolation, I am planning on seeking nomination for the Fortieth General Election (or, if the current Government of Canada is defeated in short order, the Forty-first General Election).
Heh, I think I would do a good job.

Plans to Run
I fear having things thrown at me for saying this, but I would prefer to run for the Liberal Party of Canada. I see my own opinions as being most closely-aligned with those of that particular party; my second choice would be the New Democratic Party of Canada.

Well, I'm happy you are concerned because if no one was concerned I'd be worried. However, I do not think it totally fair of you to blame the 42 billion dollar deficit on Brian Mulroney's shoulders. Yes Mulroney played his part and is partly to blame but, so is Pierre Trudeau who ratcheted up Federal spending dramatically while in office. I don't have the precise numbers (though I did a quick search) but it is quite impressive. I seem to remeber (though you would have to look this up as I may be wrong) that Trudeau doubled the federal debt while in Office.

Anyone thinking to dive into the cesspool of public service in Canada better remember to watch out for all the genetic turds floating around to not get any on you.

Re: Canadian Politics
Now LISTEN UP.
Pierre Trudeau is in NO WAY responsible for Canadian idol.
That's that Mulrooney guy.
On everything else, you're right.
