Although many of the same could be said for the Liberal, it is evident that Harper's Conservatives are bringing us in the wrong direction. Nobody likes taxes, however taxes are necessary if we want roads, schools, infrastructure ( ie. better public transit ), services, health care etc. On the taxes front, we have not experienced a drop in taxes being paid, but an erosion of services. Furthermore, the privatization of services, such as two tier healthcare, results in an increased cost to the tax payer without the innovation or competitive gains promised from which are supposed to come from a private system.
Over the next 3 years, the Conservatives complete their mandate by :
- Improving infrastructure ( roads, public transit)
- Establish a social housing program
- Revise a tax scheme ( inheritance, tax brackets per income level )
- Adopt international standards for schools to restore credibility to Canadian institutions
- Reduce the GHG emissions by implementing cleaner energy production including wind and nuclear
- Modernize and enforce environmental policy
- Eliminate homelessness
The goals above should be discussed in greater deal, however they are ones that all governments must do.
