CCMV By-Election — Something To Think About

Well, the 'D-Day' is near. I wonder if all those who, for years, have been suggesting that we forget about candidates' social views and put "real" issues (such as taxes and healthcare) first, follow their own advice? Will those of them who live in Cumberland – Colchester – Musqoudoboit Valley, actually support a candidate who is there to offer better solutions for the economy, for healthcare, for families, and of course - for the people in the riding?

3. What will you do to increase the amount of infrastructure stimulus funding throughout the riding?

I want voters to know that there are ways to meet the needs of CCMV without increasing government debt through deficit spending, and taxing Canadians. There are infrastructure projects like the new hospital in Truro and the planned Truro-Colchester Civic Centre that the other parties, frankly don’t have a plan to finance beyond the rhetoric of the ‘Gas tax’ or deficit financing. That’s not good enough anymore. Taxing Canadians and deficit budgets aren’t working. They’re robbing us of our competiveness as a nation, and eroding our standard of living.

CHP Canada would simply use the Bank of Canada to fund our infrastructure needs, making no-interest loans to provinces like Nova Scotia, so these much needed projects could become reality—without taxing Canadians today and long into the future. From about 1945 until 1974, this is largely how Canada financed government expenditures. And the level of national debt was a small fraction of the nations GDP, and income taxes were low. It’s time to use the Bank of Canada as it was designed, to serve the best interests of the country.

If that's not common sense then what is? Vote splitting is out of question this time. Jim Hnatiuk is the only candidate in the riding who stands for both fiscal and social conservatism.
