FISCAL CONSERVATIVES ARE ALSO LEFT HOMELESS...

 My recent Blogs have highlighted that all of the current parties in Canada's Underway Election do not have any room for Conservatives...in other words they have all drunk of the Progressive - left of centre coolaide.

Your Mother tells me that I have to lighten up and focus entirely on seeing Canada's worst Prime Minister in history - Justin Trudeau defeated come September 20th Election Day.

Well of course you and I know full well that this is my Blog so I quickly responded to you mum ..."Yes Dear".

So from now on until the 20th I will write my 'Domestic' Blogs with the exclusive purpose of helping to see Trudeau defeated. But before I do ...just one more on the sad state of affairs for us orphaned Tories.

I have spent a great deal of time explaining why Social Conservatives feel unloved and rejected but much less so why we Fiscal Tories should feel likewise.

Let's look at the 3 major Parties from the Perspective of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

In their article appearing in yesterday's Ottawa Sun - Franco Terrazzano and Jay Goldberg perceptibly had this to say:

The New Democratic Party (NDP) - plan to increase income taxes; business taxes, and capital gains taxes; they would also impose wealth taxes; excess profit taxes, luxury taxes; foreign home buyers taxes; and a taxes on internet giants.   They have no plan to balance the Budget. 

The Liberals (Grits) - since they are the Party in Power, we can rely upon their track record to paint a current picture of where things stand economically.  Trudeau's inflation adjusted per person spending is higher than during the Second World War and if he and his party are re-elected, permanent government spending will be $100 Billion per year over what it was in 2019. The Parliamentary Budget Officer forecasts that our  National Budget will not be in balance until 2070 ...some 50 years in the future.  What he is really saying is "Never".

The Conservatives (Tories) - Taxpayers are told by the Federation not t hold their breath waiting for Erin O'Toole to balance the budget despite their promise to do so "within the next decade".  They offer no plans nor propose any credible targets to shrink the deficit so again they will tame the debt/deficit on a wing and a prayer. "In fact, O'Toole is proposing to spend billions the government doesn't have on new programs".  

The above will result in Debt and Deficits that will be a major drain on Taxpayers' wallets for generations to come.

And sadly we have no choice but to vote for this.

Now enough of this - let's now turn our attention to defeating Justin Trudeau and his Band of Sycophants and in the immortal words of Val Sears - famous reporter for the Toronto Star said as he boarded their Election Plane during the 1963 Federal Election that Prime Minister John Diefenbaker would lose:  "To work, gentlemen, we have a government to bring down".

Boy, those words are even more relevant today.

SADLY, MOST CANADIANS ARE PROGRESSIVES...

 IN FACT, THAT HANDLE APPLIES TO UPWARD OF 70%.

And now, all of our major federal parties are comfortably positioned there... left of centre.

The last hold-out was our Conservative Party but under its current leader - Erin O'Toole, the party has moved to this 'other side'.

So which party now represents the 30 % or so of us that are right of centre?  None of course.  Once it was the Conservative Party .. but only 'sort-of', since for as long as I can remember, the Party has backed as many liberal policies as it has conservative ones.

I have mentioned it on numerous occasions but it is worth saying here once again that a true conservative stands for balanced budgets, small governments and free economies.  Those goals have become a long forgotten memory.

America used to be a beacon of true conservatism but in recent years it too has been slowly drifting into the progressive morass - (aka)...authoritarianism. 

I said in a recent blog that should the Conservatives come out of the current election in a minority position it would actually be a loss for them since, unlike the Liberals...they could not expect the leftist New Democratic Party to support them.  I am beginning to think I was wrong in that analysis.  Indeed, with O'Toole, the NDP might very well see clear to supporting him and his left wing Conservative Party in order to get their own extreme agenda through parliament. 

And I am not alone in seeing the Tories turn from Conservative Blue to Liberal Red since many respected analysts are coming to the same conclusion.

Since being elected in 2015, the Liberals have spent like drunken sailors and in so doing have impoverished future generations of Canadians.  The Other Parties now promise to do the very same. All the while, the cost of living is sky-rocketing and for too many, home ownership has become a distant dream. The once fiscally Conservatives are promising to balance the federal budget by the end of 10 years which not only will not happen but by the end of that time who will even remember their promise.

The other amazing thing about the bountiful promises now spewing forth from party leaders is the fact that they mostly relate to matters of Provincial Concern and the Provinces are in such desperate financial straits that they are acquiescing in the face of this full court press by the Feds. The Goliath gets bigger and bigger and more remote from the people... where is David when you need him. 

For me - a true conservative it means I will be voting Libertarian assuming our Riding even has such a representative.  If not, Sir John 'A' even dead is looking like a good write-in bet.

But permit me to end on a positive note, as the election progresses it looks more likely that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may be campaigning for the last time and with that would end the Reign of one of the worst Prime Ministers in Canadian history since his Dad, Pierre Elliott ran in the 70s and 80s.
