2015 Federal Election - where do the parties stand?

Policy books should be our least concern. Nearly all major gun control has been the result of a reaction to a public tragedy.

Vote for who you think will keep a level head in the event of a public tragedy. Don't vote for who you think will leverage a public tragedy to further their agenda.

well said... level headed politicians with a backbone are hard to find

The only reason why they get to be there is they will push an agenda

The problem with the Greens is that they are too polarized and their candidates are too extreme in their views. You need to find balance between the economic, social and environmental policies, but not at the expense of the either one. Furthermore, you can only have social and environmental progress if your economy is performing. The NDP favor the social side of the bottom line, but fail to understand the impacts to the economy... Which function to fund social and environmental programs. The greens favor a balanced approach in ideology, but their candidate are too focused on environmental programs to be a realistic governing party. The liberals just fail at all three with unclear expectations and objectives.

The conservatives understand that only through a strong economy can Canada further develop its social and environmental performance (which are already world class). We led the world in the Great Recession and can continue to have a powerful influence on the world stage, but straining our economy (and progress) and global compititivness for the expense of election promises will only push us further behind.

We don't need change people.

If the Greens ever want to be thought of more than a far fringe nut bar party they need to get rid of May and the other nut bars around her.
