So what do you think this government has done for Canada ? In terms of good things.

Do you want to keep it in power or not?

*Please no left or right bashing just get straight to the point. Thank you =)

Technically, the conservatives are in a minority government right now. So really, they don't have sole power. That's the whole point of our democracy system. They can't do anything they want without the approval of another party in order to get a majority vote.

But, to the question of what I think of them, I hate them...well, hate is such a strong word...dislike their views. In my opinion, our conservative government, no matter who's the leader of the party, is always siding with the Americans.

I'm not a conservative myself, and hope like hell they don't get a majority. They haven't been too bad, though.
•Criticism of sentimental love, marriage, sex, religion, and rituals.
•Valuing reason over emotion and imagination
•Ironic, indirect, and impersonal (objective) representation of ideas.
•Uncompromising criticism of romantic illusions.
•Advocacy of pragmatism and disapproval of idealism and ideology.
•Especially vehement opposition to neo-liberalism, social democracy, communism, libertarianism and feminism.
•Satirisation of irrational and whimsical attitudes of the so-called creative class.
•Criticism of social, political, cultural, and moral customs and manners of the contemporary society.

Personally, I don't like how they're spending so much on the G8. Yes, they're siding too much with the Americans.

But otherwise, my views don't really work with theirs. So I wouldn't want them in power! =P

Any positives: Just how they stopped creditors from cold calling or something that's all! =P
