DO NOT EVER TELL ME THAT CONSERVATIVES IN CANADA ARE ANY BETTER THAN THE LIBERALS. They are both legs of the same animal.
Your choosing to side with the Conservatives has told me that I do not want to have anything to do with you either. Whether you are right or wrong. Your choice to tell me that I MUST support the Conservatives flies in the face of my ability to choose. Besides which the Conservatives are no better than the Liberals.
Perhaps you need to have another look at Max Bernier and the PPC?
I will not support you and I will not support the Conservatives. I definitely will not support the Liberals. The best times in Canadian history are the times when any party other than the conservatives or Liberals were in the Prime Ministers seat. I will support the candidate that has the platform and beliefs that I feel are best for me and every Canadian. Currently that person has aligned with the PPC.
It is good to stand up against government control and oversight but I need to be able to make my own decisions. And you need to do better homework.
