The NDP doesn't have a chance in our riding, and their candidate isn't strong.
So I will be voting Liberal.

I find it funny how the various party faithful react to new spending proposals by their party vs other parties. Specifically the CON faithful. NDP or liberal propose spending it's "Omg they're going to bankrupt us" CONs propose spending "Omg, they're so amazing"Originally posted by codetrap
Hmm.. pay $50k in taxes and get nothing new for it, vs pay $50k in taxes and get another year of Mat leave... What's the constant here lol. The argument of "with your money" is a little bit retarded because it implies that the other guy isn't going to take the same money to start with.... plus the idea that peoples votes AREN'T generally for sale... that's another one lol. The entire election process is a bidding war lol.
I'm not attacking you personally on this, just the tropisms themselves. :P

Saw a poll that said he'd win a landslide if only women voted.

In this election there is only one federal party that is in the best interests of the oilpatch worker and that is the Conservatives. Since my livelihood depends upon the health and welfare of the oilpatch it is in my interest to vote for the party that best represents it.
I've seen a few of their signs around, all with big letters advertising a 15% flat federal tax. I hate paying taxes as much as the next guy, but 15% is out to lunch. Is it even possible to run Canada with only 15% tax?Originally posted by TurboMedic

Their platform is interesting though. I agree with a lot of their points

It was just a cheap dig at your seemingly slurred typing I'll put it down to carpal tunnel resulting from your fervorous posting as of late.Originally posted by Toma
You disagree? That's odd.
For the record, Ive drank a half dozen times in my life, and never put an illegal drug in my body.
On the same page with you regarding EI. Do you have a source for the $1.8B? I thought they passed a law that disallowed taking out of EI, or did it not go into effect yet?Originally posted by codetrap
Yeah, it is pretty funny isn't it. I do have to admit though, the EI/Mat leave thing is overdue. EI's been overfunded now for years, and all that excess cash has been quietly dumped into general revenue, against the original EI charter. The Con's pulled 1.8B out of EI this year to help balance their budget, even though 40% of unemployed people in Canada don't qualify for EI.
That's just wrong in my view.
And they aren't buying my vote as children aren't in my future. I'm just happy it is going back to the citizens and not being funnelled into other areas of government. Buying my vote would be decreasing EI premiums.
When the gas tax was introduced it was only to be used for infrastructure upgrades. I see ei as what it is, another payroll tax that I will most likely never benefit from.Originally posted by phreezee

I do agree with your point, premiums should be reduced or parental leave being extended is a good option. I would also be good with reducing premiums.
Perfect, thanks. Looking forward to 2017.Originally posted by codetrap

In two years, a new program will be introduced that will ensure EI premiums are no higher than they need to be to pay for the EI program. In 2017, the government plans to lower the EI premium from $1.88 to $1.49, saving a Canadian earning $50,000 about $200 per year.

Here is an article from Jim Flaherty stating he would never do this.
