After "pooping puffins " and other adolescent high jinks, the Conservatives have done little to convince us that they have a serious plan or vision for Canada.
Meanwhile, the Liberal Party has been steaming ahead, rolling out a clear, focused plan of action.
Our vision is of a progressive, productive and competitive nation that sees innovation and creativity at its very core. Investments in arts, culture, new technologies and green industries are at the heart of the Liberal plan.
Canada has always punched above its weight. Developing our human capital is key to our success; we have a plan to invest in training and education.
The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA), calls the Liberal Education Plan announced today by Stephan Dion the "most important increase in student grants in recent history".
As the Party that brought in Medicare, the Canada Health Act and the Public Health Agency, Liberals continue our commitment to a strong public health care system. We will increase the number of doctors and nurses, bring in a plan for catastrophic drug coverage and strengthen public health institutions such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
A government must protect the health, safety and well-being of its people. Our people are our greatest resource.
So, bring on the rhetoric that comes with elections.
Liberals have a strong and clear vision for Canada's social, environmental and economic future.
