They’re not going to cut programs, and they’re not going to raise taxes!
But hey, Her Majesty’s Government for Canada has the budget books under control!
That is the conservative philosophy these days, FP. Is it any wonder that conservatism these days is synonymous with ‘borrow and spend’?
Politicians are hypocrites. You're surprised? As far as governing Canada goes, it looks to me like both parties aren't worth goose shyte.Say it isn’t so, SirJosephPorter!
But isn’t what what the conservatives accuse of the Liberal Party of Canada?!

Were also in a recession still,
raising taxes should be the last thing they do.
Let the peeps recover,lots of folks still arent working and wont even show up on the unemployment stats for a month yet.
The stimulus package in itself was a shift of tax dollars for votes and a waste of money IMO.
Really? I thought they accuse the left of 'tax and spend'. Strange that; are the Conservatives trying to win fiscal-conservative votes for the opposition? Because quite honestly, tax and spend has a much more fiscally conservative ring to it than borrow and spend.

Sure they accuse the left of tax and spend, and with justification. However, conservatives are great believers in borrow and spend, at least since the days of Reagan.
When it comes to economics, it is the centre that is the sensible one, not left or right. The philosophy of centre can be described as: cut spending when you can, raise taxes when you must, and above all, balance the budget.
though excessive taxation cannot be good for the economy in the long run

And this is different from Trudeau's spend now and let our grandchildren pay exactly how? He is responsible for the huge debt Canadians collectively owe on. But then he was fairly far left even for a Liberal. Probably should have been a dipper but that would have never gotten him the job of PM.
I must disagree here. No taxation would be disastrous in the long run. Any country that has survived in the long run would have had taxes the whole time of its existence. So clearly, taxes per se are not bad. What is bad is for taxes to be too low or too high in the long run. The ideal is for taxes to be just high enough to generate enough revenue to cover its expenses and perhaps to couner inflation too. Only a fiscal liberal would think of taxes as being harmful in and of themselves.

But isn’t that what I said in effect, Machjo? I said that excessive taxation cannot be good for the economy, I didn’t say that taxation isn’t good for the economy. On the contrary, taxation is essential; there cannot be a civilization without taxation.
