Crib-notes for the Canadian election

[from The Blogging of the President in this article]

Liberals - status quo - continued deficit payment, a little bit of money for Medicare and occasional tax cuts for the rich and corporations.

Conservatives. A massive tax cut aimed at the poor and middle class and at corporations and a promise to get out of the subsidy business. The Feds will basically let the provinces set the agenda on most items, hopefully choosing locally appropriate solutions.

NDP. A lot of federal intervention through subsidies and legislation. Want an active federal government trying to solve energy problems, increasing immigration, health problems and challenging the US and the WTO actively? Then the NDP are for you. The NDP is for those who aren't cynics - those who believe the Federal government can do things right if run right and can make a difference.
