让我们来思考一下大选辩论话题:加拿大人的社会价值观
Paul Martin : The basic value gap that exists between us, and quite simply, I don't believe that Canada was built on american conservative values. It was built on compassion, on generosity, on sharing and understanding .
(马丁说的要compassion, generosity, sharing and understanding。是不是要我们老百姓既要做贡献而且还要充分理解和相信自由党政府呀? )
Stephen Harper : What I say to Mr. Martin is the values of ordinary Canadians are honesty, hard work, integrity and accountability , and your government, Mr. Martin, has not represented those values in parliament.
另外,看看Harper在竞选中的言论:Canadians were being massively overtaxed 不要忘记了这个基本事实:加拿大人都被课以沉重的税赋!
自由党政府从我们这儿收取了太多的钱去管理,但12年的执政证明,他们管理得很不好,许多管理理念和制度的缺陷导致一方面浪费了许多金钱和人力,另一方面又造成了不愿工作吃福利现象;更严重的是,还出现了腐败滥用纳税人金钱的丑闻。所以,需要一个政党去致力于改变和改革。Harper在竞选时多次谈到这个问题。
Harper, a trained economist, is itching to fix a bloated system he says is way out of whack.
"There's been overwhelming evidence . . . that Canadians were being massively overtaxed, resulting in huge unnecessary surpluses that were only having the effect of causing the government to be badly managed."
"That's not the purpose of government - to turn a huge profit."
"When government is rolling in money, it tends to get very inefficient, full of scandals, full of mismanagement."
最后看马丁和哈柏的背景:马丁是个百万富翁;哈柏则是一个Nice Family Guy ,在任党魁之前,也只是一个年入100K多的中产阶级。
谁更能理解和同情我们 ? |
