  • Maintaining nuclear assets and a technological advantage requires money.

    Maintaining the ability to actually project power overseas requires money.

    Both of these are a key part of American deterrence strategy. Its not a left/right policy to fund the military. Its about why you’re funding it and the dems were funding it for the goal of maintaining global security which is a left wing liberal idea. You can’t put your head in the sand and ignore geo politics.

    He didnt lower taxes on capital gains though. He chose not to raise the tax on capital gains. A Right wing stance would be to lower or remove.

    He did say he wikl lower two taxes. He said he would lower the income tax rate for the bottom tax bracket by 1% and remove the carbon tax and replaced it with a carbon rebate programming for Canadians. He also said he would work with a bunch of other countries to tarrifs goods that were not up to carbon emission standards. So that together is a much stronger climate change impact than the carbon tax.

    He explained in depth his reasoning for both of those decisions and if you listen to him its because the carbon tax failed to accomplish its goal and he is going to tackle the problem another way.He still supports the issue he is just trying a different solution.

    For the cgt its because Canada has entered a trade war with its closest trading partner and he is planning to do massive investment in Canada and doesnt want a cgt hike disincentivizing investment.

    Do you disagree with this reasoning?
