I agree that the results of the votes are saying exactly just that -- that the NDP is not doing enough on these key issues that you've mentioned. What baffles me is -- what makes voters think the Conservatives under Rustad's leadership would do better in these portfolios?
Esp with affordability and healthcare, I find Rustad's plans to be totally unviable at all. The renter and mortgage rebates will put money into people's pockets, but at a huge expense to the province's financial revenues, and it shows in the Cons' higher costed platform than the NDP's despite Rustad cricitizing the NDP for being wasteful in their spendings.
And then there is healthcare. In our current healthcare crisis, the source of our problem is a lack of medical staff, not a lack of private healthcare options. Allowing for private healthcare will only erode the public system and make it more expensive.
So why would people think the Conservatives can do a better job than the NDP?
