In the absence of these important policy proposals, there is evidently some apprehension among Canadians. Half (46%) say they are “fearful” of the CPC forming government, while fewer (35%) anticipate it with hope. A majority (54%) suspect Poilievre and the CPC have a “hidden agenda” that won’t be revealed until after the party wins the elections.

There is also some doubt that a Poilievre-led government can balance the budget and lower income taxes as promised, even if most view them to be “good things”. More than two-in-five (45%) say neither will happen.

It's funny how the party of "taxes bad" somehow also like a balanced budget.

How the fuck are you gonna balance it when you choke out cash flows and things cost more annually? 🤔

Cuts. Most of the provinces are blue right now. Look around to how well that's going for your day to day services.
