Ariane,

Thank you for making my point. Policy is a living thing and my point in an earlier post was that pursuing a business agenda of tax cuts for corporations and wealthy individuals alienates a large group of potential party members who will never be able to take advantage of those things.

Fiscal conservatism is a conerstone of our tradition, but social responsibility is as well. We have to concentrate on developing industries that create sustainable jobs and wealth rather than pilliging our natural resources to a point where they are no longer renewable for that will truely be the end of Canada. What will we have to offer the global market when all the trees are cut down and all the gas and oil are out of the ground? The answer is nothing, unless we develop Canadian industries such as automobiles, furniture, agriculture, and other finished goods.

Your right, while principles are timeless the policies of the 1890's is no longer relavent, but neither is that of the 1980's.
