Cue

Hillbillies believing the cons about reducing spending
The cons pitching a spending reduction plan and hiding where they WILL reduce spending
Food safety inspectors, forensic accountants and border agents with their jobs on the line
Rich bastards dreaming of the rotten ass food they can bring in and cook the books around
Galen Weston hosting that last party and serving his PC barbecue rolls in a delicious smoky glaze
PCs hiding the name connection.

Hillbillies believing the cons about reducing spending

I find it pretty compelling to believe they'll reduce the deficit.

The issue is they'll do it through austerity and selling crown assets which is will cost Canadian even more in the long run but that's largely the next government's problem.

Typical CPC behaviour since the party merger / Harper era:

Blame the other guy and get into power based on outrage instead of actually having any policy;
Make life worse for the poors by cutting public services;
Lower taxes for corporations and the wealthy;
Steal as much as possible via hiring all your buddies as "consultants" for shit that doesn't need any consulting or have any consequences;
Get fired because the same fucking chuds who voted you in are finally wising up;
Start blaming the other guys about all the problems you just created;
Repeat ad nauseum.

Harper didn’t reduce it often but he did throw our military under the bus to attempt it
