I can appreciate that some people believe that the left leaning parties are better for the "greater good" as opposed to what benefits one as an individual.

However, I still feel that socialism simply removes accountability from the individual.

Edit: Food for thought, when you grow up in an environment where people know the Gov will support them regardless of their personal efforts or ambitions, how does it impact Canada when considering globalization?

We tend to think of Canads as a prosperous nation but have spent the last 15 years + relying on natural resources, immigration, and real estate to prop the economy up. Perhaps many believe that things here should be better, when in fact, things should actually be much worse.

Edit #2: Oddly enough, provincially I voted NDP, Notley is much less left leaning though, and the Alberta Cons had just spent the last 2-3 years shitting the bed in an unprecedented way.

Edit #3: Corporate taxes are already too high in Canada as it is, when was the last time a a foreign based company decided to move their operations to Canada for any sort of competitive advantage? Never, because our taxes and regulatory environment seems bad for business compared to other economic super powers.
