I voted conservative. Veni in me frater! Molon pros me! It sucks that there isn't an actual viable right wing party in Canada, or I would vote for them!
But if you want to know who voted for the Conservatives, I shall tell you. It is people who have jobs and families that are fed up with large portions of their taxes going to sustain the hopeless (visit a downtown in your area for further information). They take taxes from those of us who live far away from the urban area and spend it to refurbish the downtown core. After restoration is complete, everything is vandalized almost immediately.
The people are tired of their taxes being wasted. I think a very economically conservative (not the Conservative Party) would do very well in the non-urban areas of the country.
Furthermore, can we get a party in this country that believes in suitable punishments for crimes? Say what you want about the US, but when they give somebody a life sentence, the perp doesn't get out. Here, committing murder may get you a BARBARIC 12 years in prison. Now I am sure, many liberals will say "oh, 12 years, that is a ton! They have paid their debt", but I bet you wouldn't say that if it was your child or significant other or parent that was murdered. Victims never get justice here! Also, why do they even call it paying your debt to society', when the tax payer pays for your existence? They should be making street signs and various items used by society that are provided by the public sector.
The gravy train has ended and severe cuts have to be made. Everything must be audited, and all corruption must be sought out and punished harshly. The West can no longer afford the decadence of the past, especially with the quickly approaching demographic catastrophe (retirement of the baby boomers).
I also want to add that the Conservative ads were extremely petty (but I suppose effective, given the complete annihilation of the Liberal Party). The majority government will prevent us from having an election constantly which is an expensive process.[/QUOTE]
Murder is a life sentence. You never get off parole. 2nd degree murder is typically 10 years in prison, but it's still a life sentence (you'll be watched and reporting to a PO for the rest of your life even after you escape prison). Although I'm too lazy to find a source atm, murderers have one of the lowest recidivism rates (chance of reoffending) since 10 (or 25) years is still a long time. Rapists and molesters are the recidivists, and should probably be hanged.
