Official Election Flash Survey - Conservative Party of Canada

www.conservative.ca

This survey is nuts. Here are some quotes:

Pierre Poilievre will lock up the worst criminals for life. Do you want safer streets?* Yes – Jail, not bail! No – I want dangerous criminals terrorizing my streets

        The Carney Trudeau Liberals have FAILED our military. Pierre Poilievre and Canada First Conservatives will strengthen it. Do you want a stronger military?* Yes - Warrior culture—NOT woke culture. No – Woke culture is more important

The * just means its a required field, if you are wondering.

Proper survey methodology?
I'm not sure the Conservatives have ever even heard of such a concept.

Conservative fundraiser and think tank surveys always make me think of Hitler-era German ballots:

Pierre Poilievre will CUT income tax by 15% to save families nearly $2000 a year. Do you want more savings?
"We are objectively right, do you agree?"
a. Yes, please top me daddy Poli
b. No, I am a fucking moron and will be giving a serious vote to the Rhinoceros Party because they base their platform on facts.
- It really seems like DoFo borrowed a page from the Rhino's platform with the tunnel under the 401. Do you think he'll turn it into the world's longest underground bowling alley?

If I didn’t see the domain name I would’ve thought this was a parody website.
These people are whackos.

This happens every election, and it's always infuriating

I answered on the negative in all their dumb ass questions and wrote this in the textbox:
I would tell him to stop following Trump's and the Republican's playbook. This will not work in Canada. Tax cuts is not what we need right now. We need funding for our social services. We need to increase taxes on the wealthiest Canadians, especially the multi millionaire and billionaire class. I don't mind paying the taxes I pay as long as they provide for schools, medical services, prescription drugs, feeding and housing the needy. That's how I want to support my community. You want to lock up dangerous criminals? How about locking up the businessmen who defraud middle class people of their hard earned money. These guys are wrecking lives way worse than any violent criminals. Our seniors are now the boomer generation - a generation that grew up in the most prosperous times and through non-stop growth. They have money and properties that their kids and grand kids will never achieve in their lifetime. Tax them. Cutting sales tax on new homes is only going to make it cheaper for the wealthiest who are the only ones who can afford a residential property right now. Even by cutting the tax, our generation still won't be able to afford housing. And we need more socialized housing built by the government, like we used to build in the past. I do want a stronger military but that has nothing to do with warrior culture or woke culture. Canada is not a country of WaRrIoRs. We're peacekeepers and we will defend ourselves appropriately when provoked. Nothing more. We're not aggressors, that's not a core Canadian value. And if you think I'm going to help you guys out or provide you with my contact information, you're dreaming. Right now your party stands against every traditional core Canadian values and is following in the footsteps of the Republican party of the United-States, a party that turned fascist and authoritarian that eroded freedom and liberty, that has aligned itself with enemies of democracy and is causing chaos worldwide both on the political and economic stage. Shame on you.
- As if they read.

Listen, #4 actually makes sense. You're going to put a bunch of these conservatives out of a job if you don't vote them into office, and they'll be unemployed with no outlet for their toxic ideology and next thing you know you'll have these dangerous criminals terrorizing your streets, shouting stupid slogans and shoving pamphlets in the face of uninterested passers-by. A tragic outcome indeed.
