Don’t worry, he’s a fascist too!

Edit: @cyberorganism shared this article from La Presse it’s French language, my school days french is really rusty so I machine translated it.

Here’s a few excerpts(emphasis mine):

Eliminating The Deficit:

Restoring a balanced budget is one of Pierre Poilievre’s main commitments. He wants to pass a law that would force the cabinet to find a dollar of savings per dollar of new spending. Since coming to power, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have never presented a balanced budget. In addition to abolishing CBC funding, eliminating contracts for consultants, and abolishing the Infrastructure Bank of Canada, the Conservative leader has not specified the path he will take to re-balance the budget.

Criminal Justice:

“Stop the crime”. This is one of the four priorities that Pierre Poilievre sets out in the preamble of his press conferences in a systematic manner. How? By doing what no government in Ottawa had dared to do so far: by using the exemption provision to tighten the parole regime, to reinstate mandatory minimum sentences and successive prison sentences. Stephen Harper has failed on these issues.

Social Programs and Health:

Since 2015, the Trudeau government has stepped up investment to expand the country’s social net. The National Day Care Programme and the National Dental Care Programme are examples of this. These programs are popular with Canadians. Pierre Poilievre indicated that he intended to maintain the national day-care programme. But it is unclear about the future of the national dental care programme and the drug insurance programme, arguing that both measures exist only on paper.
Moreover, it rejects the idea of extending medical assistance in dying to people suffering from dementia, as the Government of Quebec wishes. With regard to the opioid crisis and other drug use, a conservative government would focus on treating people with addictions and throwing oversets from supervised consumption – Ottawa’s solution to avoid accidental overdoses and reduce the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS.

Environment:

This one is deceptive (probably) in sounding like they might actually do something useful… except the bit about expanding pipeline construction. In all likelihood, there will be contracts tendered to friends or supporters to do silly things like carbon capture and sequestration. If sequestration is done by pumping it into deep wells, look forward to earthquakes in previously geologically stable areas, escape of CO² into neighbouring communities meaning residents would need to evacuated, and the area may not be habitable for a year or more depending on the size of the CO² pocket. That’s if the carbon capture scheme that gets funded isn’t just a grift, and most of them are.

Pierre Poilievre made it a slogan that pleases his troops: Axe the Tax. Putting the pin into carbon pricing is likely to be one of the first steps implemented by a conservative government. Pierre Poilievre wants the next election campaign to be a referendum on the “tax,” introduced by the Trudeau government as part of a national climate change plan. In doing so, it will also end the Canadian carbon discount for individuals.
At present, the conservative climate change plan focuses on the development and adoption of new technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is not clear whether Pierre Poilievre would endorse the Trudeau government target, reducing GHG emissions by 40% to 45% by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. A conservative government also promises a single environmental study for a natural resource development project in a province and will do its utmost to facilitate the construction of new pipelines.

I’m going to stop here, starting to rage. I recommend reading the article.

People share PDFs? A gif/meme would probably get more traction.

There is no avoiding it. We will have to suffer through 4 years of pp. I hope it is only 4 years

(Edit – the removed comment was roughly “why give any care to poor people that create no jobs and take away money from banks and grocery store owners?”)

Funny you should mention grocery stores:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/481019/leading-grocery-retailers-by-market-share-canada/

When one dynasty (the Weston family) owns nearly a 3rd of the entire grocery market, steal from people by fixing the price of bread, driving independent retailers and smaller suppliers out of business through exploitative supply agreements?

Yes I would like to take a big chunk of money from these hoarders.

Corporations aren’t people. Tax them and use that money to help every Canadian.

(Edit – the removed comment was roughly “why give any care to poor people that create no jobs and take away money from banks and grocery store owners?”)

The simple answer to this: actually giving money to poor people is The Most Effective thing to do with it. Trickle-down is an absolute fallacy, but trickle-UP is a very measurable thing; and it’s been measured. So why care? Pure tax profit on investment – it’s smart business.

But that’s not what the non-conservatives do. They don’t give handouts but they smooth the negative effects of living poor. Fewer bad days mean more good days, and more good days mean actual economic mobility.

… you know: that thing the conservatives sell you every time but seem challenged to provide when all they do is raise middle-class taxes and cut rich-boy taxes. It’s like it’s a con.
