Please do not include me or any other seniors I know. Most of them are conservative in nature.
Somethings look good, but to me its mostly soundbites, no real details on how they plan to pay for it all. As for defence, apart from previous statements about strengthening the Arctic, buying AEW a/c, etc, nothing really new. Also talks about deploying military helicopters to patrol the border which to me is a waste of resources; its not in the military's mandate.no PDF....yet but heres the CPC plan

I’ll be curious to see how this all lines up with his dollar for dollar plan. Not sure that sound bite matches reality.
immediately deploying the military to the southern border sure sounds like someone else......
Liberals ahead of Conservatives by six points as two key groups are ‘absolute toss-ups’: Nanos
A three-day rolling sample by Nanos Research has the Liberals at 43 per cent over the Conservatives who are at 37 per cent nationally. The NDP is at 10 per cent.www.ctvnews.ca
That better not be it. That is in no way a costed platform, it's just housekeeping to finally have a user friendly webpage.no PDF....yet but heres the CPC plan

In January Gen Carignan said the military is ready to deploy to the border.

Poilievre's problem is he's trying to be pragmatic. He thinks being fiscally conservative and reducing government spending is what Canadians want. He should have just promised 250B in spending and promised freebies to everyone.Ctv did the math
Conservative platform promises more than $100B in new measures over four years
Conservative platform promises more than $100B in new measures over four years
The Conservatives have released their fully costed platform, with measures including a 15 per cent income tax cut for Canadians making an annual salary of $57,000 dollars a year.
the difference between the two plans is still significant but not as much as the many think, the CPC keeps taking on the current deficit to the Carney plan to make it over 250 billion, by that same math the CPC plan is over 220 billion in debt. The issue I have when looking at it from a fiscally conservative outlook, is the CPC plan does a lot of things that do not get a lot a bang for the buck, or are just wasteful. Deploy military assets to watch the border? waste of funds, 5k top up to TFSA's? not going to help the middle or lower class. Capital gains deferral? as long as it includes real estate, its not a good idea because it means real estate developers can buy and sell canadian properties like hot cakes without paying additional tax. Building a full base up north? going to cost a lot if we want anyone to have an okay quality of life there.
You didn't have an issue when Carney promised the exact same thing?
Doesn’t matter. Just more of the same
Watch your brush. I have not spoken to a senior (my group) yet that has voted liberal. Not a single one.
The Liberal arctic plan has no such ref to building a full base, lots of mention of duel use infrastructure but not a dedicated military base
That’s why commentators (including Blue ones) have noon only half-joking over the past few weeks when they’d say the Conservatives should be hoping for a boost in the NDP’s fortunes.
Not surprisingly, every senior I've talked to has voted or is voting liberal. It's the company you keep; our own personal experiences are not an accurate reflection of the national turnout.
