I guess having a new thread goes nicely with having a new government. :) So Trudeau is ending Canada's bombing campaign in Syria and redirecting that money to more humanitarian efforts. I for one and very happy about this. That is more along the lines of what Canada is about IMHO.

Should be some sort of rule that all parties must have their costed platforms released by the second week of the campaign.

Kind of ridiculous that they all left it so late.
It is easy to promise all kinds of spending, but not show how the are going to pay for it.
The other aspect that drives me nuts is promising things well into the future when the party may not even be in power anymore.
