Four Political Parties

Researching about the platforms of the four major parties of Canada during this 2015 election has given me an in depth view of what these parties are all about. From the future of our economy to the fight on the niqab, this election has a wide breadth of topics to consider. I, myself have different opinions on these topics. The party I most agree with is the Liberal party of Canada lead by Justin Trudeau. This party has great ideas in issues I am very passionate about.
