@RealAlbanianPat According to both candidates we need to
1. Increase defense spending
2. Cut taxes
3. Maintain health expenditures including dental program
This is gonna result in net new spending.
I remember this happened in the provincial election in BC. The BC Cons had a large deficit
@Prominent_Bryan Honestly this was the most common criticism of the NDP I heard at the door. The high deficit. However they grudgingly decided to vote for Eby because they thought Rustad was crazy and Eby was normal.
This is what we're missing from the Housing conversation. Tax incentives and optimism won't build affordable homes; we've tried that for three decades.
@alcibiades5410@ettingermentum There is also a lot of vote splitting because the Greens and NDP (Soc Dem) are most powerful there. In terms of popular vote I wouldn't BC to be significantly different than Ontario in Con vote.
