@majinvegetalPS3 I understand what you are saying. The people who have a hard time finding work because of the recession deserve money. But not those who do absolutely nothing to help themselves educationally and don't give a crap about getting a job. Why should our hard earned money be given to people who sit around all day, do nothing and don't even want a job. I would prefer giving money to people who need it, not people who are too damn lazy to get off their ass and work.

@FloMonKish Most people think that all Quebec wants to do is seperate< but really many of us are english and completely laugh at seperatists and find it very stupid. But it's true when u say that we did have a notion to help the country put I wouldnt have elected the bloc

@kodiak1966 Seems only Quebec cared about our country and its future, which is very ironic because they wanted to separate. This means they have put aside their own interests for the good of everyone, they successfully united for the people. And the rest of Canada let them down I find it sooooo sad..

@xXDarkVengeanceXx so what would you rather do? give the money to the rich and the corporations? fascinating, I wonder what world you live in. We don't need to focus on military, I don't think Canada is under any threat at this time. And there are no jobs, I don't know if you've noticed that or not...therefore the government is responsible in ensuring basic necessities are covered for those who cannot afford them.

DO NOT VOTE PC !!! 15 billion in un-needed fighter jets,never tax the oil companies,biggest deficit in Canadian history,Over 1 billion spent on G8 summit,Stealing CPP and EI funds,immigrants can't bring families to Canada,Harper and Ignatief are all about American politics. You are killing any chance our kids and future generations have at living a normal life. Conservatives have done NOTHING AT ALL in the past 5 years..Wake up!

[xXDarkVengeanceXx]

If the NDP get elected the canadian economy will fall. There will be too much money being thrown around to people with no jobs and no career aspirations and our military will get completely neglected, which will make canada look like crap.

I have a hard time trusting a party that uses that negative slurr "not so great" for the majority of there ad campaigns. The NDP spend the majority of there time dissing the Liberals and Conseratives instead of talking about what they actually would like to do. Can't say im particularily inspired by it.

For the most part I work in nothern Alberta at the big oil refinerys. Why on earth would the price of gas at the pumps here be controled by OPEC , that is just ridiculous. The price of oil doubles , are wages go up a few % , where did all this money go$ . We are talking about a giant industry making twice as much over night . The only thing that we got from that was getting robbed at the pumps.

This contrys natural resorces are the property of the citizens . I should be alowed to sell my portion of wood,minerals,oil,gas and put that money in my pocket. And I would be able to buy things with that money without paying 500% tax on top. If this was the case we would not even need to work for a living.
