Thread Name: BS: Canada Election
Subject: RE: BS: Canada Election
now we are in for it. the tories have brought down the two biggest deficits in canadian history and they propose to stay in deficit untill 2014, and that;s a flaretty predictopn. he has never issued a budget statement that was anywhere near to accurate. so we will be back to mulroney territory with a total debt so large the wortld will start pressuring us to do a greece or portugual and cut virtually all scoial services. and that's exactly what the right wingers want. they know thau can't get elected by openly proposing those cuts but they can force it with debt.

canadian gave the tories credit for good financial management when all they did was inherit a decade of surpluses and a sound regulated banking system. the tories opposed the liberal bank regulations when they were inoposition. however people have short memories and the liberals did it to thenselves with the sponsorship scandal.

i didn't believe the liberals could fall below fifty seats--roughly. they may be done. i used the think the only purpose the ndp served was to get tories into government both federally and provincially, bnow maybe its time for the liberals to go. unite the left.

harper has been themost dishonest politician in modern canadian history and has been a fiscal disaster and no seems to care. image is apparantly all that matters.

i didn't like uggy as liberal leader and his getting apointed rather than having a convention was awfull but i din't expect the libs to fall below seventy seats and never below fifty. maybe now the backroom boys will wake up and stop trying to manipilate hand picked leaders, dion is looking pretty good right now, at least he had a clear plarform. iggy wanted to get elected without standing for much of anything. so now the flaretty nightmare of spending like drunkards and refusing to tax
