| Message | It is somewhat bizarre to see the CDA trying to pose as the champions of the poor, when they have done so much to worsen their lot during their term of office. The former Concordia Association eliminated public health care, cut the social and health budget to zero, and has otherwise introduced a host of policies that have only benefited the wealthy. Liberal policies are not about handing out unnecessary benefits to alleviate our consciences, but about fighting poverty, ensuring fair prices for both providers and consumers, and thus enabling the less well-off to pay their own bills. |
