As a socialist I don't like what either the liberals or conservatives have been doing (or want to do). But the real thing that scares me about a conservative government is their stance on things like gay marriage, abortion, and (what I feel is a) strong religious bias.
I know provincial and federal politics are not the same and you can't always compare them, but if you're considering voting Conservative think back at what Harris did to our province in his 8 years of leadership. Now imagine that being done on a country-wide scale. I'm not sure about you, but to me that would be nightmarish.
Also, if the conservatives had been in power back when Bush asked for help with the Iraq war we might have been part of the "coalition of the willing". That would have been unacceptable.
