Understanding that Canada has a constitutional left-wing bias:
(New) Conservative Party:
------------------------------
bias: left-right
system: low taxes, high personal responsibilities, long range planning,
majority rule.
stereotype: smiling rich white guy
Liberal Party:
---------------
bias: left-left
system: high taxes, high state responsibilities, short-range planning,
minority consideration.
stereotype: easygoing working-class family man
New Democratic Party
--------------------------
bias: very left-left
system: very high taxes, low personal responsibilities, reactive planning,
minority rule.
stereotype: bitter, loud, pushy, utopianist.
So, come election time, if you want Canada to be run like a restaurant, vote
Conservative. If you want it to be run like a cafeteria vote Liberal, and
if you want it to be run like a soup-kitchen, vote NDP.
