Myth Exposed

Andrew Scheer

In Canadian political commentary, one hears the term “liar” a lot.  I don’t think it wins many votes.   However, seeding myths and repeating them frequently, does seem to have some influence.

A typical myth that Liberals repeat, against those who campaign on fiscal responsibility, is to claim that such is code for cutting social programs, as the rich don’t like money going to the poor.  I know that simple phrase sounds ridiculous, but that is part of the resentment beneath the myth.  Liberals have their followers believe that Andrew Scheer would severely cut social programs.  That is a psychological appeal to the larceny in the voter.  Vote for us and you will get your pay-off, and vote for the other and you will get the cut.  One must have seen those comments already by the Liberals against Conservatives.   I remind that such statements are false.  The truth is published on the Conservative web site to the whole world:   conservative.ca

“Andrew Scheer’s Health and Social Programs Guarantee" 

"Under a new Conservative government, you will be able to count on stable and predictable health and social program funding.

It is critical for you to have confidence that these programs will be there for you when you need them.

That’s what Andrew Scheer’s guarantee is all about.

He knows how important it is to ensure quality public health care and social programs in every province.

Andrew Scheer’s Health and Social Program Guarantee guarantees his commitment to increasing both the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer if elected Prime Minister this October.

That means federal spending will keep on increasing to meet the needs of all Canadians, and ensure a quality public health care system in every province, no matter what.”
