CPC policy hypotheticals: Canadians see a balanced budget, longer jail time as ‘good’; defunding CBC as ‘bad’ -
(angusreid.org)
In the absence of these important policy proposals, there is evidently some apprehension among Canadians. Half (46%) say they are “fearful” of the CPC forming government, while fewer (35%) anticipate it with hope. A majority (54%) suspect Poilievre and the CPC have a “hidden agenda” that won’t be revealed until after the party wins the elections.
There is also some doubt that a Poilievre-led government can balance the budget and lower income taxes as promised, even if most view them to be “good things”. More than two-in-five (45%) say neither will happen.
This is regrettably true, and driving a lot of the red meat for "tough on crime" talk from right-wing politicians.
Our saving grace is that being tough on crime takes effort and money, and the CPC is just as cheap and lazy as the LPC. They'll just talk tougher and do nothing, as compared to the Liberals smiling and waving flags...and doing nothing.
Yeah, I should add, I'm not against reforming the justice system, really I'm frustrated by the lack of enforcement and lack of resources given to our courts.
