In the absence of these important policy proposals, there is evidently some apprehension among Canadians. Half (46%) say they are “fearful” of the CPC forming government, while fewer (35%) anticipate it with hope. A majority (54%) suspect Poilievre and the CPC have a “hidden agenda” that won’t be revealed until after the party wins the elections.

There is also some doubt that a Poilievre-led government can balance the budget and lower income taxes as promised, even if most view them to be “good things”. More than two-in-five (45%) say neither will happen.

Short version: longer sentences don't mean more justice.

I never understand why people don't want criminals reformed, just locked up.

There are very good arguments for rehabilitation of those who commit crimes.

And before anybody sounds off there are certain people who just need to be removed from society due to an inability to behave. It's just a very small portion of those who break the law.

And increase social spending. Of those who can be reformed, they'll only do so if there's a support network.
