'Fear-Mongering' Proved Beneficial for Liberals, Says Canadian Pro-Family Activist

(AgapePress) - A Canadian pro-family activist says he is disappointed that the Conservatives were not able to break the Liberals' grip on the government. That activist believes too many voters succumbed to liberal "fear-mongering."Brian Rushfeldt had hoped for a better result, but the executive director of the Canada Family Action Coalition (CFAC) believes the Conservatives simply failed to get out in sufficient numbers in the Province of Ontario -- and too many Canadians, he says, believed the Liberals' lies.
"Ontario actually elected to listen to fear-mongering and continued supporting a corrupt and immoral government instead of using common sense, not listening to fear-mongering, and voting in a conservative way," the CFAC spokesman says.
In Rushfeldt's opinion, the fear-mongering that the Liberal Party aimed at the Conservative Party seemed to catch hold in Ontario more than in any other part of the country. "They really did view the Conservatives as a dangerous party," he adds.
But Rushfeldt says there is a silver lining: the Liberals do not have a majority and must form a coalition government. "In one way the most positive thing about the instability, the way it has unfolded, is that the Liberals may choose to introduce very little legislation at this stage, hoping simply to just hold onto power and do the minimum kind of work."
The pro-family activist says there are several issues that could bring down the Liberal minority government in the coming months and give the Conservatives another shot.
