Policies on The Campaign Trail.............

WELCOME INSTAPUDIT READERS! Thanks for the INSTALANCHE, GLENN!


"That said, for an election billed as a battle of the mindless attack ads, this campaign is increasingly offering Canadian voters a surprising array of policy choices between the Liberals and Conservatives. (The NDP have been all over the map so far, drifting right, then left.)

The Conservatives have been sounding more like conservatives and less like a party of the mushy middle. Harper is rolling out a platform built on leaving more money in the bank accounts of working Canadians letting individuals decide how best to spend it.

The Liberals under Martin, on the other hand, have become the party of big government, grossly overtaxing the masses to create a mushrooming bureaucracy and the most activist administration since Pierre Trudeau made a mess of the place.

The Conservatives are clearly targeting the long-suffering middle-class -- too rich to be poor, too poor to be rich. Martin seems content to go after anyone anywhere who might be bribed to vote Liberal. "
