To the editor,
I find Erin O’Toole’s Conservatives to not be genuinely conservative but rather a money-first party with little or no stances on the major social issues for which they once stood.
Thus, to me, they seem to stand for not much other than big business, finance and maybe a balanced budget.
Nor do I find the Liberals to be truly liberal. They also pander to corporate objectives and the rich, albeit while maintaining their traditional liberal social policies, notably those involving race, gender and sexuality.
Apparently big-money interests get served regardless of which of these two parties rule. It’s amazing how politically focused and potent such interests can get!
Still, whenever I look at the vote-tally numbers after election day, the Conservatives seem to win by the center-left electorate dividing their votes amongst two or three mainstream center-left parties.
