First the policy. Harper announces new parental leave program
Self-employed Canadians will have access to a new parental leave program if the Conservatives are re-elected, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Monday. The initiative targets more than 2.6 million Canadians who work for themselves but the party is aiming the program specifically at female entrepreneurs.
Now, one Liberal hack, and two experts.
Seems the experts agree that it's brilliant. I do too.
It's a small change that will potentially affect millions of self employed individuals, not just women.
What is impressing me the most is that Conservatives are proposing family friendly, low cost policies while the Liberals and NDP are promising the sky and being totally irresponsible with taxpayers money.
If the green shift is going to generate 18 Billion in revenue FOR the government, where is that 18 Billion coming from? Let's say it's the big polluters who are going to pay. Who are they? Taxpayers.
The government produces nothing. Let me repeat that, the government produces nothing. They generate revenue by taxation. Who do they tax? Us.
The big bad oil producer gets their money from...us. The taxes they pay come from...us.
It's time for us to say enough is enough. To take a favorite phrase from the feminists and change it a bit.
It's our money, and our choice! Vote wisely.
