At least two articles for each party are to be referenced. You may also learn about each party from the party's own website. From what you have learned about each party please write about the following in your own words: b) What is the general economic philosophy of each the party? In other words, what is their general position or belief economically? Talk about economics (i.e. spending, taxes, government control, free markets, etc.) and not about their positions on social issues. What do they believe government should do regarding economic matters? As you learn about this economic philosophy, would you say they are a more left wing, right wing, or centrist party and explain why you would say this. (You might need to research what is meant by the terms left wing and right wing!) (6 marks) Identify and briefly describe three specific economic actions that this party would propose to take if it formed the Government of Canada (or is the government). Be specific. Saying they would create jobs is not a specific action. It is the outcome of some action they would take. What would they DO if they formed the government? (6 marks) In your opinion which of the general positions of the parties do you think will be best for Canada? Why do you say this? (There are no marks for favouring any particular party or getting a "right" answer. Marks are given here for giving it some thought and expressing an intelligent opinion) (3 marks) I Canada has three major federal political parties: The Liberal Party of Canada, The Conservative Party of Canada, and the New Democratic Party (NDP).
