Do you seriously need me to put together an itemized summary of the CPC's platform and highlight all the differences between that and what the Liberals are offering?
Even your central policy gripe: The Carbon tax. You're going to be paying a fraction under the Conservatives than you would under the Liberals. O'Toole promised to eliminate it? Well he's more or less eliminating it, save a small, token fee to keep the climate crazies (who BTW happen to decide elections in this country) happy.
I mean would you rather stick with Trudeau and keep paying the bigger tax?
The problem here with you is that you don't see how many of these policies overlap with a Liberal program from 2015 and how many of these points are just empty platitudes. Just look at the immigration policy of O'Toole. What other than "we're going to do it better than Trudope" does he offer? It's just more of the "we're going to streamline that, make this more fair and efficient and make it more accessible". This all has no practical meaning.
And it doesn't even stop there. When metacanada was still a thing we made fun of the Libs by showing how often the word man vs. woman or father vs. mother is in their program. Do the same now for O'Toole's program. Time to reuse some memes.
We're not voting for a Conservative leader.
We're not voting for Conservative policies.
We're voting to get Trudeau out of the office.
Do you see where the problem is?
It is my central gripe. And he's not eliminating it. He's keeping it. His 180 on the carbon tax gave it legs to stand on. Every Conservative Premier (Ford, Kenney, Moe and Pallister) sued the Liberal federal government to get it removed. Ford ran in 2018 on a platform to scrap it and he won in one of the most cucked provinces in Canada. And you're going to tell me that keeping the carbon tax is a small token fee to keep the climate crazies happy? It's not a small token, it's a fucking big one. O'Toole cemented the carbon tax for eternity in Canada. Every Liberal PM that comes after him will hike it, tenfold. And O'toole's flip flop on the carbon tax is what you can blame in 25 years when the carbon tax will be $200 a ton.
And btw. the current carbon tax in Saskatchewan is $40. I get almost every cent back I pay in carbon taxes back through my CAI payments. I can spend it as I wish. With O'Toole's plan I would pay 20% less, but I would only be allowed to spend it on government approved things. The current plan gives me more freedom.
Would you rather pay 20% less and buy only things the government approves for or pay 20% more, get the same amount you paid in carbon taxes back and spend it as you wish?
