Endless tax money still being spent to to spread propaganda with your own dollars to in an endless campaign to win a majority. Tell me your not so stupid to support that won't you? If the Cons keep up with what they are doing, they will be hard pressed to even win a minority let alone a majority. Just because the Liberals of past blew some money doesn't excuse this government from doing worst and you people are a bunch of sickie's that still promote this party that will turn their backs on you supporters if they thought they could gain a few more votes. Grow up, open your eyes and your ears and see what really is going on here. PS, you don't have to be a parrot to a lousy politician named king Harpie and his ideology is not working either so give it up. Quit being childish and blame the past government for all your woes. <br />You guys sound like 12 year old bullies and you know what happens to bullies huh? When faced with standing up for themselves, they run away and hide with their tail between their legs just like your dictator Harpie is known for. Too chicken to face the music or the press when they finally get their act together and ask questions instead of making up their own news. You guys had better wise up before you don't have anyone supporting you all.<br /><br />Its too bad but this government really does bring the worst in people.<br /><br />Ditto western grit. I totally agree with you.mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878825121729826425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28423454.post-27844276650213642562009-12-08T16:41:40.602-08:002009-12-08T16:41:40.602-08:00Jim... Errr... check your facts. The CPC has been...Jim... Errr... check your facts. The CPC has been running increasingly large deficits since they got in power. They blew the $13 BILLION contingency (surplus plus) within ONE YEAR of taking power - WELL BEFORE the "recession". They blew it on idiotic measures like the GST reduction, emptying Canada's coffers, when any intelligent finance Minister would have translated what was going on South of the border (and how it would impact our lumber, construction, and financial sectors up here). <br /><br />Liberals did make some cuts to EI, but these were MINISCULE compared to the MASSIVE debt the Mulroney (and some of these very same) federal Conservatives left. The Liberal governments of Chretien and Martin had to kill those deficits and start paying down debt - which they did, in record-breaking fashion. <br /><br />Your 40 Billion figure (which you no doubt made up) had to be printed here, because it proves how hallucinogenic you Conservatives really are. Your 2nd budget (after the Paul Martin "gift" to you in your first budget) was IN THE HOLE by the $13 BILLION PLUS another $12 BILLION. <br /><br />Don't try to "lie, conceal, fabricate" in the typical Conservative way on this blog. That number you just tossed out there is the biggest whopper I've heard in months - and we've heard some pretty big ones from the Conservatives.<br /><br />I guess you guys just think you can stand up and blatantly lie to the public, because no-one has called you on most of it. <br /><br />Guess what?<br /><br />Times up. The Liberals have "re-learned" how to be an opposition party. Sure, we've lost the NDP as an "opposition" party, but the largest House group of MPs (after the Reformers) will be challenging you a lot more now. And... even corporately neutered media will have to start asking questions of you - or risk coming off like Fox "News"...WesternGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658358114507615351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28423454.post-60538265713617946072009-12-08T11:49:15.028-08:002009-12-08T11:49:15.028-08:00Yes, we all know how the Liberals balanced the boo...Yes, we all know how the Liberals balanced the books...By raping the EI surplus and painful downloading to the provinces.<br /><br />Anyone care to mention how much of the national debt the CPC managed to pay down in under 4 years?<br /><br />Heck, I'll mention it...$40 billion dollars...All without raping an EI surplus or trying to bankrupt the provinces.<br /><br />You Libs are such hypocritical liars.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984716150769477615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28423454.post-63356762078455516962009-12-08T05:29:34.030-08:002009-12-08T05:29:34.030-08:00WG

The praise from the international community, and journals like the Economist. We also all know the reasons behind some of the Liberal votes this Spring. It was a political game that had to be played to prevent a possible Conservative majority. Your answer is very "political" too... Sometimes we need to see past the party politics, and look at which ideology has done best for the country. A Liberal government with a strong 3rd party NDP voice has been the best formula for a modern Canada. We see - too clearly - the foundation of our democracy being torn assunder by this very scary government. The institutions many hard-working Canadians have come to rely upon and work with are slowly being destabilized, by this NeoCon group who believe in "no government". <br /><br />We were watching for something that looked overtly like a "monster", all scary and public, but what we have received is something more insideous and covert. The public is being fooled serially, and the Opposition parties (3rd and 4th party) are too busy sniping at other Opposition Parties... All the while, Canada slips out of our fingers...WesternGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658358114507615351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28423454.post-62900928977900860622009-12-07T14:10:31.700-08:002009-12-07T14:10:31.700-08:00Today I got another 10%er in the mail, from the Co...Today I got another 10%er in the mail, from the Cons. Not an attack one - someone at Con HQ must have had a brain cramp, and they did a positive one.<br /><br />Anyway, this 10%er talks about the home reno tax credit, and how I too can take advantage of this (I live in an apartment building.) Of course, every Con 10%er has to have the poll on the back.<br /><br />"Who is on the right track to help the economy?"<br /><br />LOLMarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28423454.post-60512845416176108522009-12-07T13:18:02.257-08:002009-12-07T13:18:02.257-08:00Goodale is right, as usual.
