Anyone who voted for the Conservatives on January 23 must have amnesia.
From 1984 to 1993, Brian Mulroney and his Progressive Conservatives were running the government. In those 9 years, Brian Mulroney almost destroyed Canada.
For those of you who don't remember what happened, let me refresh your memory.
This is what happened:
-Mulroney signed the unpopular North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
-Our deficit rose to over $40 billion.
-Our national debt was over $500 billion.
-Mulroney introduced the highly unpopular Goods and Services Tax (GST).
-Unemployment rates were as high as they were during the Great Depression.
-Services were being cut because of the rising deficit.
-There were many scandals.
From 1993 until earlier this year, Canada was being run by the Liberals. The Liberals did alot of great things for this country, such as:
-They restored services and created many new services.
-They eliminated the deficit and gave us 8 straight balanced budgets.
-They payed off $60 billion in debt.
-They gave us responsible tax cuts.
-They helped our economy grow.
-They stopped Quebec from separating from Canada and protected our national unity.
Now I know the Liberals had a few scandals and broke some promises, but so did the Conservatives. Our country is on track right now. Do you really want the Conservatives to screw up everything? The recent Conservative budget is a prime example of how irresponsible the Conservatives are.
We are going to have a election sometime in the near future. People say that the Conservatives will win a majority government. This is beginning to scare me.
I just want everybody to think about this before you go to the polls and give the Conservatives a majority. Just think about it.
