Nobody voting for the Libs/NDP/Green party should be poking fun at the Harper deficit... the money spent did shield us (at least so far) from any reduction in the quality of our lives after the melt down in 07/08 (Compared to what many states in the USA endured and what many EU countries are dealing with).

Just wait and see how fast that deficit balloons with the left leaning agenda's of the other parties lol... those additional services do not come free.

There seems to be a number of typical positions if you're anti conservative;
- You hate him for being him
- You assume he has some hidden agenda
- You just want someone else in power
- You like all the increased social spending promised by others (Green energy, CPP, Child Care, Health Care)
- You hate bill C-51 (Which Trudeau is for as well anyway... so meh)

I will say the first three reasons I gave are just stupid as fuck, the increased social services are not a bad thing.. but the cost of these programs should not be underestimated, and I think that's what a lot of voters are doing right now, living in the land of "grass is always greener"
