MODERATORS
 

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.

It's funny how the party of "taxes bad" somehow also like a balanced budget.

How the fuck are you gonna balance it when you choke out cash flows and things cost more annually? 🤔

Sell of public utilities? Lose the following election and everything is now the party in powers problem

Cuts. Most of the provinces are blue right now. Look around to how well that's going for your day to day services.
