Electing a Conservative Government is Bad for Most Canadians
- Cuts to Public Services – Conservatives often cut funding to healthcare, education, and social programs, making life harder for everyday Canadians.
- Privatization of Healthcare – Conservatives push for private healthcare, which means longer waits for public care and higher costs for those who can’t afford private options.
- Fewer Worker Protections – Conservatives weaken labour laws, making it easier for employers to cut wages, remove benefits, and fire workers without cause.
- Tax Breaks for the Rich – Conservatives tend to lower taxes for big corporations and the wealthy while cutting services that benefit regular people.
- Climate Denial & Inaction – Conservatives oppose strong climate policies, support pipelines, and weaken environmental protections, making climate change worse.
- Less Support for Families – Conservatives cut programs like affordable daycare, housing assistance, and parental leave, leaving families with fewer resources.
- Defunding the CBC & Public Media – Conservatives attack independent journalism, making it harder to get fair, fact-based news.
- Anti-Union Policies – Conservatives make it harder for workers to unionize, which lowers wages and job security.
- Ignoring Indigenous Issues – Conservatives underfund Indigenous programs, delay reconciliation efforts, and fail to address systemic issues.
- Harsh Immigration Policies – Conservatives make it harder for immigrants and refugees to come to Canada, even when the country needs workers.
- More Privatization – Conservatives sell off public assets and services, making essential things like transit and utilities more expensive.
- Tough-on-Crime = More Prisons, Not Prevention – Conservatives invest in jails and harsher penalties instead of addressing the root causes of crime, which doesn’t reduce crime rates.
- Cuts to Arts & Culture – Conservatives reduce funding for the arts, libraries, and community programs that enrich Canadian society.
- Disrespect for Science – Conservatives often ignore scientific research, especially when it comes to climate, public health, and social issues.
- Opposition to Fair Elections – Conservatives resist election reforms like proportional representation, which would give voters a stronger voice.
- Suppression of Protests & Dissent – Conservatives introduce laws that limit protests and restrict free speech, especially for environmental activists and unions.
- Increased Military Spending – Conservatives pour more money into defence while cutting social programs, even when extra military spending isn’t needed.
- Ties to Right-Wing Extremism – Conservatives have members who associate with conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, and far-right groups, promoting division and misinformation.
- Failure to Address Housing Affordability – Conservatives say they will build more homes but they side with developers and landlords instead of offering real solutions, keeping housing prices high.
- Austerity Measures Hurt the Economy – Conservatives cut government spending during tough economic times, leading to job losses and slower growth.
Voting Conservative may benefit the wealthy and corporations, but for most Canadians, it means fewer services, higher costs, and a weaker social safety net.
