  • Dion sure looks like a cheerleader to me.

    "Gimme an R! Hoooraaay, recession!"

  • It's hilarious really. The Canadian economy is sound still, despite a virtual collapse in the States, because Canadians, by some fluke, elected the Conservatives. The economic downturns are a direct result of International Markets. To say that Canada's economy has been destroyed by the Conservatives is incredibly dishonest; relating the Conservatives to Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservatives ( a different party, made up of red Tories) is likewise dishonest. Liar liar, pants on fire.

  • @jediwizard18 Does Dion do that with the audience, because can not pronounce "Brian Mulroney"?

    Just wondering...

  • And for us (the government) spending money on the wars and Iraq some of it makes sence but still people are loosing lives, we are making little progress. But also helping many people..what should we do?

  • I dont know what the government should do but the job losses need to stop. Even the oil company is having problems staying afloat....look at the gas prices....less cars beening bought.....we are all cutting down. The oil is the strenth that Alberta has. And BC with the logging indrusrty thats going in the same direction. Ontario with all the car plants going bankrupt.

  • The Libs are just trying to capitalize on decades of investments in anti-conservative propaganda. The problem is they no longer have access to the treasury, so their main source of funds has dried up. If McDonalds' stopped their advertising, we'd all forget what a Big Mac is, just like regular people are starting to wonder what's wrong with good ol' right-wing ideas like effective government, individual freedom and equality of opportunity.

  • so now not only is dion and the liberals attacking harper but they think they are so smart if the attack brian mulroney. It's funny because in canadian history the only party to get the two biggest majorities in parliament is the Progressive Conservative Party, once under Brian Mulroney

  • Get your facts straight! The government is lowering ALL corporate taxes including small business taxes, which was my exact point. You're right that cutting small business taxes creates jobs, which was Harper's exact point when he started the cuts last fall. So we agree.

    I've never heard anyone argue that tax breaks = socialism, that's a new one! Anyway the election just ended and Harper is already looking at monetary reform, but I think meant fiscal policy if you're interested in tax breaks.

  • liberty4canada, boy are you deluded! Do your homework...with all-time record high profits, the oil companies are getting tax breaks from Harper's government....socialism for the rich.

    The point is the oil companies don't need tax breaks, the little guy does, and it would have the effect of stimulating the economy, and providing more jobs.

    I'm not a lefty, I'm a libertarian...in favor of monetary policy reform, that lets the wage-earner keep his wages (and pay no income tax).

  • You lefties are all the same, since when do tax breaks equal government spending? You think taxpayers money belongs to the government first and taxpayers second, that's crazy.

    Layton keeps crying about "$50 billion in government hand-outs to oil companies". Hey Jack, that's OUR money to begin with and letting small businesses and corporations keep their profits isn't government spending! What nonsense.

    Also "the rich" didn't get any special tax cuts under Harper.

  • Harper doesn't believe in huge spending programs... unless it's for big corporations...tax breaks for the rich... oil companies, etc.

  • aircraft25 umm well i dont think hes from quebec he doesnt represent the bloc and he has dual citizenship with france, i dont even think he lives in quebec soo, whats up
