Carney has already cut the capital gains tax, that we were told was created to create generational fairness. As well as the carbon tax, which we were told was a net benefit to the poor. Given the polls seemingly Canadians arent progressive, and they hate taxes on the rich.

I feel like the NDP and the conservatives are both better than the Liberals. The NDP will raise taxes to actually fund the programs, which will lead to higher average standards of living and less future austerity; where the Conservatives will cut and lead to greater productivity gains and greater foreign investment into Canada.

Whereas the Liberals seem to be low taxes, tighter regulation, more unfunded programs, and now using even more debt in an attempt to force capital formation as if it will be different from the last decade. They just seem to say whatever they have to to get elected at any given time with no static leanings left or right, a party of non-denominational opportunists.
