The Conservatives and the Destruction of Canada

Everyone expects the a change in government to redress the inadequacies of the previous regime. The sluggish economy and arrogant attitude that dominates the Canadian mindset has unfortunately fed the rise of a dogmatic party to power.

I never was someone who would be considered "proud" of what Canada should represent, but there are some values that I feel should represent who I collectively belong to. Fairness, equal access and a sense of collectivity are just a few. Unfortunately, the move to more privatized services, more spending on defence and incarceration do little to improve the conditions of everyday Canadians. Private insurance and health care costs more for everyone, defence will create some jobs, but building weapons as opposed to infrastructure is simply ridiculous.
