General Politics Discussion

I actually have about equal faith in all three parties to respond to bad economic news.

I've never understood why the PCs get credit for good economic policy. In most of their iterations they're actually pretty bad. They want to cut taxes but know that in Ontario/Canada its a lot harder to cut services and so we still end up with deficits.

The Liberals have effectively governed just as far left (if not more far left) than the actual NDP.

So... yeah.

Edit: NDP are proposing an extra 1% tax increase on people making >220,000 and 2% tax increase on people making >300,000. (Or those general numbers). One big bone to pick I have with the NDP is their messaging around this. I'm actually ok with the tax increase but they always phrase it as "It's time for these people to pay their fair share!", which... feels like a bit much.
