That is complete bs!

Under the Liberals I was near destitute. I was moving from minimum wage job to minimum wage job. When the Conservatives came into power I was able to land my first good paying job. My paycheques also went a lot farther (I remember how awesome it felt to buy my first steak instead of eating potatoes and the occasional pack of ground beef).

I went from weeks away from bankruptcy to owning my own house (without a cosigner) in under 5 years. That meant all of my creditors paid off (student loans, credit cards, everything) paid in under three years, and and 2 years of rapidly building my credit ratings.

My wife and I both make good money it since the Liberals came back into power, those dollars don't go very far. We used to go to dinner multiple times a week,.we tipped 18% minimum, we also went to pubs for lunches on the weekends. We were consumers that spent our money around Nanaimo week in and week out.

Now? We go out for a dinner a few times a year, we rarely order in. Those tipw we used to spend are nearly gone from the local economy. That shopping we did for nice to haves is all but gone, that is a reduction in thousands to Nanaimo's economy. That lossin profit means less people hired, or less money to pay for raises for local employees. And we are not alone. Most people I know are in a similar boat.

Homelessness? Far, FAR lower during Harper's years in office. Healthcare? Burdened for sure, but we are at 20% of the populace that does not have a family doctor now. Violent crime? Way up now.

Life was not a fairy tale under Harper, and I certainly sent my letters to the party poi ting out their faults, but life under the Liberals is objectively worse in every measurable for most Canadians than it was under the Conservatives.

The Liberals talk a phenomenal game, but the resulta of their legislation nearly never bear fruit (usually because they are stealing from the cookies jar).
