This thread is the reason why I'm not a fan of talking Canadian politics. Most Canadians, especially young Canadians, are so conditioned to want more, more, more from the government. That attitude really creates an unwelcoming environment for those of us with libertarian or free market views. There's not even a foundation for us to make our points because government is just so huge--the CPC, to me, is even a left-wing party.
Venting aside, I tend to be with Torie on this one. I have no sympathy for the students in Quebec. I'd like to see them pay for tuition in Ontario universities. Compared to us, their education is practically handed to them out of public coffers.
But I agree. It's best you libertarians stay out of talking Canadian politics. Or politics in general for that matter.
Case in point. Have I been rude to you?
And I associate the Conservative "tough on crime" crap as left-wing... in the sense that it costs an irresponsible amount of money and oversteps the bounds of government. Maybe left-wing wasn't the best term to use. I'll say it's very authoritarian. Either way, the Conservatives overstep the role of government just as much as the NDP would, albeit in different ways. For example, while I appreciate the spirit of the constant back-to-work legislation we see in parliament, I think the government should just keep its nose out of it.
But I apologize--my voice should never be heard and you should disregard my opinions on any topic ever. And we're the entitled ones?
