No party is perfect, but to say conservatism is about being fair (at least in practice) is simply deluded. If anything, I think conservatism is fundamentally about unfairness-- that life is unfair, but it's your responsibility to take care of yourself and your family.

Hi, I'm the automated fact-checker called into duty to clarify your statement:

This is a stretch of truth and exaggeration at best. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Federal Conservative Party of Canada are the reason you probably don't remember lockdowns and shutdowns during the 2009 Swine Flu worldwide pandemic. What did Harper do so well? He declared a national emergency then stepped aside and let the Department of Public Safety do their job. That's right. Harper did nothing, except let the experts who deal with pandemics do their job.
