| New Direction For Canada With Justin Trudeau? | 24 October 15 |
During the campaign, the Liberals released an 88-page plan to boost support for post-secondary students, clean up the environment, and lower the tax burden for middle-class families. He also pledged to run three years of deficits to invest in infrastructure and bolster the economy. Alex Marland, a political scientist at Memorial University in St. John's, said this election was driven by personality politics and the "celebritization" of leaders over more substantive issues. "Despite the campaign's extraordinary length, we heard relatively little about the finer details of political parties' platforms, or about their potential cabinet members or candidates," he said. The Liberal Party’s campaign platform comes with a long list of promises that they should have a relatively easy time turning into legislation with their majority. It might take a while to reverse almost 10 years of economic and regulatory change brought in by the Harper Conservatives. Justin Trudeau will be in the spotlight as Canadians and the world wait to find out if he will make good on his promises.
