  • Jobs are everywhere. Is this recession real at all? You can't walk three blocks through down town without seeing atleast 2 wanted signs.

  • hold on, I don't like harper at all, but can anyone confirm the fact of this clip? %50 higher then the US, that seams a bit steam, I know I've been layed off my painting job, but i was fairly certain that the US did have it worse then us, or at the verry least on par. (considering it started in the US..)

  • I don't care for Stephen Harper

  • I imagine a significant number of any new jobs created are not the same caliber as the ones lost. ie: Lower wage, parttime, contract or temporary. And as to 'acosell's' bank comment. We haven't had a bank collapse YET.

    Harper and many that preceded him are selling this country down the river under the guise of Free Trade,NAFTA and SPP. Along with help from the Council of Chief Executives. When will people wake up? All parties have the same script regardless who you vote for.

  • Sure we've lost those jobs. It seems convenient for you to leave out stats on how many new jobs were generated over that time. Oh, and how about the fact that none of our banks have collapsed? That sure would be a kick in the pants. Thank goodness none of ours have, like all those banks in the USA!

  • I'm one of those 212,000. Fucking redneck Harper...

  • he's lost without john 'the fella' howard whispering into his ear

  • castorcanadien, you keep saying that Iggy is not a true Canadian because he had to spend a couple of decades outside the country to improve his career. Does this mean that Wayne Gretsky is not a true Canadian either?

  • Iggy is a history professor and all he has done is teach history and work for the BBC. He doesn't know squat about Canada because he was born with a silver spoon in his greedy mouth and pissed on Canada for three decades working and living in the UK and USA.

    Canada needs economist Harper to lead the nation during this crucial time of economic turmoil, not some ivory tower history teacher who only came back to Canada because some of his UCC buddies convinced him to be a TO Liberal politician.

  • He's deceitful. I hope Harper retires ASAP ..... he is a disgrace for good Canadians. Why? Because of his callous attitude about the wars. Bush may be gone but we are stuck with a Neo Con PM WarLord who's controlled by the NWO.

  • Hey johnh23 ... here's what Iggy wrote when he was a "we Americans" professor at Harvard and 100% supporting Bush invading Iraq:

    "To defeat evil, we may have to traffic in evils : indefinite detention of suspects, coercive interrogations, targeted assassinations, even pre-emptive war." - Michael Ignatieff, NY Times Mag, 2004

    So .. have you changed your mind about unCanadian Iggy??? {{{{Scary}}}} ... eh???

  • So how canadian do you consider the 5 Harper Cabinet ministers not born in Canada?

    2 Brits -Clement and Kent

    1 merican- Ablonczy

    1 from paragauy -Toews

    and one from Rio - Fletcher.

    I'm no fan of Iggy either but don't spout the hypocritical conservative talking points with stupid talk about being unCanadian unless you want your party examined the same way.

  • I agree, plus "Stevie" Harper also said that American (neo)conservatism was a "beacon of light for the rest of the world to follow", & that Canada was a "Socialist" North European state, can we say Stevie's a hypocrite boys & girls

    (BTW our PM HATES being called "Stevie", if people really want to piss him off call him Stevie hehehehehehe

  • An MA in economics does not make one an ecconomist, a phd and some real life experience working in the field makes someone and ecconomist.

    Besides dumb ass economists running the banks, the Fed, the BOC, BOE, etc. caused a good portion of the problems we are facing, so why would you expect a partially trained amateur to fix it, when the experts could not.

  • So what has Iggy done for Canada???

    Was a professional university student..went to the UK to work with the BBC as a tv show host..wrote some dumb books..a British university prof.. divorced (left wife and 2 kids behind) and went to Harvard USA as a university prof...finally after 30 years outside Canada was parachuted into a safe Toronto Liberal riding and groomed to be Canada's prime minister ... and now 4 years later he managed to assassinate his way to Liberal leader .... {{{{Scary}}}...eh?!

  • Yep i Know about the Igster's background. First we dump harper and force the Consrves. to bring in a sovereingtist leader then Iggie goes. In the meantime theres Layton or better yet the Canada Action party

  • Comment removed

  • These "ads" are priceless! Keep up the good work.

  • heart goes out to all that lost their jobs! I'm hearing alot more of that these days :(

    stay strong ppl!

  • I would like to say thank you to the people of Calgary Southwest, who voted for this dumbass. How anyone can vote for a man, who talks trash about Canada in the States, and thinks they are deemed worthy of representing this country, is beyond belief. This country is rudderless under him. Iggy sucks, but I want rid of Harper and his filth now.

  • Harper is a disgrace to Canada ...

  • I lost $30,000 believing the Con lie regarding no taxation on Income Trusts. Stupid me for believing this pile of dogshit we have for a Prime Minister.What really bothers me is that an elderly widow friend of the family ( with a very modest sum of money) trusted me to advise her. When the Cons were elected I put her into diversified I.T.`s. Well everyone knows about the "Taxation Fairness", plan, tax leakage lie and all. Harper, how can you live with yourself ?

  • castorcanadien

    Stop trolling you ape

  • The truth is not trolling ....just go to Wikquote for "Ignatieff" and you will find this juicy gem:

    "To defeat evil, we may have to traffic in evils : indefinite detention of suspects, coercive interrogations, targeted assassinations, even pre-emptive war." - Michael Ignatieff, NY Times Mag, 2004

    Iggy was one of Bush's biggest supporters in US academia. Wait till Canadians learn the truth about "we Americans" Iggy ..!!!

  • GritGirl has resurfaced and the ultra low cost / high quality YouTube & Internet entries are absolutely fantastic.

    They are a very credible response to the ConBorg War Room Tactics now being employed over the Internet during the Harpster's phony peace

    These are superb and timely infomercials exposing the CONtradictions of the Grating Helmsman ( our all not quite knowing e-CON-o-mist with an MA ) in Ottawa and his gang of misfits

    Wonderful to see.

    We really can't afford Harper

    .

  • HARPER IS CANADA'S BEST HOPE!!!! Ignatieff is more pro-American, pro-Bush, pro-Iraq war, pro-Republican, and Iggy proved that when he was a "we Americans" Harvard professor sucking up to the warmongers as late as 2004.

    Now the Liberals have made Ignatieff their new great leader and will be trying to sell him as a "Canadian" - that's like putting lipstick on a pig!

    Liberals should find a real home-grown Canadian leader before they attack All-Canadian Harper, not that interloper imposter Iggy!

  • The world needs more people like the one who created this video ... Canadians MUST SEE THE TRUTH about how bad things are with the Conservatives in power.

    Harper has to go!

  • Right on .... he doesn't care too much about Canada ... He believes in the NWO

  • HARPER RULES ALL!!

  • Bah humbug

  • HARPER IS AMAZING!!!! VOTE HARPER!!!

  • vote Harper ... become American ... HARPER = END OF CANADA

  • That is ridiculous!!

  • a disgrace TO HUMANITY,.... nevermind Canada. Worst PM EVER!!!!!!!!

  • GREATEST PM EVER!!!!

  • worst pm ever !! ... A nwo eUGENICS nEO cON .

  • "The ****ING LIBERALS CREATED THIS MESS BEING IN POWER FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS"

    Buddy, what have you been smoking?

    FACT: The Libs gave us surpluses and paid down the debt.

    FACT: Harper cut taxes and spent money faster than the NDP.

    FACT: This crisis came from the USA, and had a lot to do with Republican/Conservative deregulation over the past 30 years.

  • RE-FACT: The Libs governed under one of the biggest bubbles in economic history and still had to take money from Social programs to pay off debt

    RE-FACT: Tax cuts yes, money spending he had no reasonalbe alternative.

    RE-FACT: The crisis came from Dem programs that forced unqualified people into mortgages thanks to Fannie and Freddy.

  • If he had a majority government maybe he could do something.

  • Yes - like turn us into Dick Cheney's dream country.

  • This is frustrating because all of the party leaders have litttle or no leadership. This is what we are missing in canadian politics. Harper is basicly waiting to see what other countries do , and then he acts. The Conservatives need to be innovative, which will probably never happen.

  • Harper is lazy. He looks lazy. Lazy bully.

  • wow, just wow. Really liberals you guys think that will work. Throwing skewed and downright fake statistics at canadians doesn't work. Face the facts, we aren't doing as bad as we could be. Sure the conservatives can't take all the credit, but the loses we have suffered aren't there fault.

  • Hey, Hey!

    Ho,Ho,

    Stephen Harper

    Has to Go!

  • LIER LIER

  • Liberals made the mess,.. all of it. and its to late to fix it, no matter what.

  • Too bad the recession started during Harper's time in office.

  • The recession started In america lol. Do you have any understanding of the business cycle? Stop spewing bs.

  • stop hating.

  • I NEED A JOB

  • i need a job

  • This is just yet another video smearing Harper and the Conservative party for no apparent (non-political) reason. Take < 10 second sound byte, add "shocking" statement and presto! ... Harper is evil? I don't get the point of these types of videos.

    I feel you could potentially make a stronger point if you didn't simply equate the strength of the national economy to net job creation (loss in this case). There are many other factors to consider. I don't feel Harper was intentionally deceptive.

  • My fellow Canadians

    I have a warning from personal experience, after living in the states for 23 years. Don't fall into the trap of the left wing, right wing counter arguments, because they are nothing more then distractions from the real issues that Canada faces.

    We inhabit a country that has an incredible amount of energy, food and intellectual resources. Have you ever asked your self why we are paying half our income into an establishment that gives us a failing economy?

    Get Involved

  • 50% yes but you cannot compare canada to the states in this way for the very simple SIMPLE REASON that canada has a smaller population sure switzerland is a god like country but the population is so tiny....canadas crime is much lower than the states but hey if we had as much people as the states then our crime would be the same if not higher.

  • Actually, it's not just our total crime that's lower than the States, it's the crime rates...ie. crime/100,000 people. We would still have much less crime (esp. violent) even if we were the same size.

  • legalize weed and we can tax it to pay off the national debt

  • yeah.... and we could build another railway across Canada- ANOTHER 'NATIONAL DREAM', so what if it has loops in it! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

  • No return to 7% GST, No return to Sponsorship Corruption. No to Carbon Tax. No to huge Obama like pork deficits. No to coalition with Bloc.

    Liberal Government-a recipe for corruption and depression and disaster.

  • I don't know when everyone else is going to wake the f**k up but it doesn't matter if they are Liberal, Conservative. Republican, or Democrat. They are all singing the same tune to the same Piper.

  • hey legalize pot and I will vote for you.

    End the war on drugs

    end the Canadian drug gulag

  • Guess what people, it's winter in Canada. That means lots of jobs losses in construction and related industries. The american economy shed those jobs earlier than us, that's all. It's gonna hurt alot for the next few months, but get over yourselves in thinking that anyone else could do better. Especially a party led by someone who hasn't lived or worked in this country for close to thirty years. How can you believe that the country would be any further ahead in that situation?

  • castorcanadien, seems these videos stuck a nerve. Truth hurts doesn't it? The Harper Conservatives & CastorCanadien ...making it up as they go along!

  • sounds like the scripts being read recently during standing order 31, members comments...

  • The Truth cannot be muzzled, except by a Liberal Speaker and a degenerate Sponsorship scoundrel.

  • I'm not sure what brings more joy to my cold heart; puppies and kittens playing together with a ball of string or watching Conservatives coming unhinged.

    I think I'll pick the latter.

  • Are you looking to set the record for the most lies in a single youtube comment?

  • Tell me, how do you get the ability to see alternative futures? Cause if our leaders had that ability, we could have avoided this whole thing. Not that I voted for the liberals... but your comment if kind of like saying "yeah, our guys may suck, but not as much as the other guys could have potentially sucked". Too bad we'll never know.

  • I do agree with most of what you said but I liked Dion better than this Ignatieff guy - iggy plays ball with both sides in all the wrong places.

    Dion though I don't think was corrupt he seemed like the egg head straight talker to me. Don't get me wrong, Harper is a strong leader, but he could do more environmentally regarding our water and air - plus what was with all these useless elections with extra low turnout. The low turnouts always get me pissed.

  • You're right! I mean, what did the Liberals ever do for Canada except preside over a decade of prosperity, balanced budgets and debt reduction? Thank goodness Harper came to save us all from that Liberal dystopia.

  • Lol, yeah, balanced budgets and economic growth did suck. Get a brain, man.

  • I gather that you're unfamiliar with sarcasm?

  • Excellent little video. What was the reason the original was taken down? I mean, what was the specific nature of the claim made by CTV/Global Media?

  • Likely just a takedown notice sent to YT.

    ALWAYS USE CBC FOOTAGE IN TY VIDEOS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. The CBC does not issue takedown notices as the remixer is in fact fulfilling the mandate of the public broadcaster.
