Keeper said:Do you think John Kerry is more (read: "ultra") conservative than Stephen Harper?
John Kerry's economic platform is based on conservative economics. So is Stephen Harper's. However, John Kerry's economic platform is based much more on free market economics than the Conservative party of Canada. I am not going to write out an essay comparing both parties, however, having done much research on the Democratic party in the US for one of my political science classes, as well as examining the poltical platform of the conservative party of Canada, American democrats believe in a much more conservative approach to government than even the Conservative party of Canada. I wonder if John Kerry would have implemented a universal health care system in the US like we have in Canada, and if the Conservative party of Canada would have wiped out our National medicare program?
