Despite that inexperience (and my desire to not vote for the Liberals based on their c-51 support) I'm finding that they have the most sensible policies on just about every issue during this campaign. Even the decision to borrow for infrastructure building is winning them support.
Newest seat projection by 308.com has the Liberal back in the lead for the first time in months. Conservatives have also inched back up, bringing this back to a 3-way tie.
I've heard a lot of people say this, which tends to leave me confused. The Liberals are proposing changes to C-51, which will bring it more in line with past anti-terror legislation. Is this position really that off-putting to you that you would vote against the party that you say has the most sensible policies otherwise?
I get people are upset over C-51, but is the Liberal position on it really that bad that people are voting against them solely based on it? My thought was always that C-51's importance would disappear as more of the Liberal's platform came out, and the polls seem to be reflecting that.
Just wondering how firm your decision is, or if the sensible policies are enough to sway your support as E-day nears? I think people like you hold the key as to who will come out winning this election, so willing to shed some light on your opinion?
They supported the original bill without much fuss and without any serious effort in trying to change it at the time, and I want to hear a detailed plan on what they intend to change. In my opinion there isn't much of anything in the bill worth saving. I am of course open to changing my vote if I hear the right words coming from Trudeau and the Liberal party, but the bill as they voted for it was such an egregious betrayal of Canadian values that I really need to hear some concrete details first, otherwise I'm not convinced that Trudeau isn't just a prettier, more charismatic version of Harper. It is this "egregious betrayal of Canadian values" that is currently overruling my willingness to vote for them, despite having better policies in other areas.
