Dear Editor:
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his colleagues are classical Liberals who believe in free markets, limited government, individual liberty, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. I believe in these principles too, which is why the Conservatives will have my full support in the general election.
The Liberal Party of Canada pays lip service to these principles, of course, but does not believe in them or practice them. It is a party addicted to big government and small people. It is a party that cannot build anything. It is a party addicted to debt and extravagance.
It has been led for the last 10 years by a wandering minstrel supported by a caucus of pension zombies. Together, they have managed to cripple the Canadian economy and have, in particular, stamped on the economy of the important province of Alberta. This depressing picture cannot be changed by replacing the wandering minstrel with another international smoothie.
We need a change in Canada. We need fresh air and a change of pace, personnel and ideas. We need to replace proven incompetence with new energy and conviction.
If we have to endure another four years under Mark Carney, we can do so, and wobble on. But Poilievre and his colleagues offer us a much better option.
D’Arcy Luxton,
Elora
