They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. But let's be real: we all do it, and with good reason. A book's cover tells you a lot about the tone, ideals and values that you'll find within. The same goes for a political party's election slogan.
Judging by the slogan chosen by the Conservatives, they're promising to dismantle the very foundations of what has always made Canada great. Life isn't a competition. But by choosing "Time for you to get ahead" as their slogan, that's how the Conservatives want you to see it.
