You are correct; he was my member of parliament. A slip of the tongue. Also, if we want to get technical, he was campaigning to continue being my MP; as he was an incumbent.
Yet in my post you only addressed my “typo”.
I’m a centrist. I see a need for a balanced approach. I see the value in social programs. I’m not against social ideals. Please, just one conservative value. This is after all the Conservative party. Was Scheer’s budget fiscally conservative? It was very similar to the budget Trudeau released (then blew out of the water, but that is irrelevant) 4 years ago. Does that make Trudeau a conservative? I just can’t see conservative values in the CPC’s platform. Please, show me anything conservative. In my perspective if the party contains no conservative values; yet socialist and liberal values abound I have to think they are what their ideals portray. I can list many if you’d like? I could also list conservative ideals that Maxime was wanting to pursue if you want them too? I however can not find a conservative value among the conservative-in-name-only party. I could list a few policies of the CPC that are a centrist viewpoint too if you want those as well?
That’s how I look at the standing of a party. What in your opinion is a conservative?
It’s tough having my head in all of this logic. Really very confusing.
