The NDP claim they will roll back tax cuts, and increase spending (paying for this by reducing debt repayments). They are openly pro-gay rights.
The Liberals say they will have small tax cuts, continue paying down the debt, and increase spending on health care by a large amount. They are pro-charter rights for gays as part of their platform.
The Conservatives say they will have a large tax cut, continue paying down the debt, and increase spending on health care and the military by a large amount. They believe in free votes on social issues like gay rights and abortion, and are open to overriding the charter if nessicary.
The Greens say they will change the tax structure so it discourages environmentally unfriendly acts, and encourages friendly acts. They are neutral on actual taxation levels.
The Bloc say they will reduce federal power and increase provincial (well, at least their province). They are in favour of Canada dissolving.
