Vincent Geloso : L'agenda secret

Personellement, je suis un libéral dans le sens de ''droite libérale''. C'est-à-dire que je - et Bryan à un moindre degré -défend la libre entreprise, le libre échange, un État qui se finance intelligement et le libre marché. Voilà l'agenda méchant dont Gilles Duceppe accuse Stephen Harper d'avoir. Mais les conservateurs ont t'ils vraiment appliquer cet "agenda" secret. Comme mon bon ami Gerry Nicholls en parle dans The National Post (sans nécessairement que je sois d'accord avec tous les points, je met ici ceux avec lesquels je suis en accord):

Gerry Nicholls : The secret agenda Harper should embrace

(...)instead of allowing the Left to define them as scary, Conservatives should aggressively define themselves. What would such a conservative agenda include? Well here’s a partial list:

Make government smaller/cut taxes : Like successful conservative politicians Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, the Conservative Party should unapologetically push for much smaller government, for much lower taxes and for much more freedom. This is kind of a no-brainer.

Make health care better :Why is Canada’s health care system plagued with long waiting lists (or perhaps they should be called “suffering lists”), doctor shortages and escalating costs? Because a virtual government monopoly runs health care, that’s why. It follows that the way to improve health care is to introduce free market principles into the system. In other words, Conservatives should offer Canadian patients more choice.

(...)Inject democracy in the workplace :Today in Canada, our labour laws permit union bosses to infringe on the democratic rights of unionized employees. For one thing, they can take dues employees are forced to pay and use them to subsidize various radical left-wing causes. That’s wrong. A Conservative agenda should promise to end forced unionization in Canada.

Protect the right to free political speech : This federal election is not truly free. We have an election gag law on the books which imposes severe legal restrictions on how much money citizens or groups can spend during elections to express political opinions. The gag law is a serious infringement on every Canadian’s right to free speech. The Conservatives should scrap it.
