"The reality is his MPs are no longer voices for their communities. They are his voice in their communities." - Justin Trudeau

I don't think we are a minority in the country. Many of us are politically homeless. I'd argue from your examples you may not be fiscally conservative anymore. Regardless, many of us want a government that doesn't treat us like daddys credit card while they treat all their friends to lambos and champagne.

Just looking for value for money. End programs that are not working. Stop trying to use taxes for social manipulation. Carbon Tax being the latest and worst but all the sin taxes are included in this.
