Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered a fiery speech Thursday that depicted the government’s latest budget as a threat to the country’s future, and suggested a number of new social programs will get a second look if he leads the next government.
He also claimed Ottawa’s push into pharmacare could dismantle private drug insurance and leave Canadians with inferior coverage and higher taxes to pay for it all.
Health Minister Mark Holland, meanwhile, accused the Conservative leader of trying to whip up fear by raising “fake boogeyman” to distract from a program that makes contraceptives and diabetes treatments more affordable for everyone.
While he attacks the Liberals’ spending plan, Poilievre is under pressure to explain what he’d cut to fulfil his stated promise to “fix the budget” if he’s elected.
In an interview with Radio-Canada, Poilievre was noncommittal on whether child care, dental care and pharmacare would be dismantled by a government led by him — but he raised questions about the programs’ effectiveness.

Because it is literally the job of the Canadian Government to do what is best for Canadians.
Anyone paying attention will know that the NDP is working to help Canadians, unlike the Conservatives and Liberals. They’re actually doing their job as opposition by getting the party in power to get things done that are good for Canadians.
Anyone not paying attention will vote Conservative.

Define government however you want. One party that’s not in power does nothing but bitch and moan and get in the way. Another party that’s not in power is helping to get things done that will help you and me.
But I can see from your comments you don’t actually give a shit. Politics is like sports to you and you’re team blue all the way.
