Rona Ambrose attacks Liberal agenda as return to 'big activist government'

[mentalfloss]

I think she also said she was worried because they didn't say ISIS during the throne speech. :lol:

If this is the calibre of opposition we're gonna get, then the next 4 years is gonna be a breeze for the Liberals.



Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose took sharp aim at the Liberal plan for the 42nd Parliament today, insisting it lacks a transparent costing and implementation strategy, and warning it will download a huge fiscal burden to the provinces.

Responding to the throne speech in the House of Commons, Ambrose said the roadmap shows "big, activist government is alive and well." The Liberals have delivered many promises, but few concrete plans, she said.

In his own remarks, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed his government would introduce its promised "middle-class tax cut" on Wednesday, and that the first large group of government-supported Syrian refugees would arrive this week.

..more weak sauce...

A breeze? They have a majority,

It would be nice if Mr. Trudeau would get down to work on stimulating the Canadian economy.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Seems pretty accurate for me. One can only go with sunshine and rainbows for so long before wanting the nitty gritty.

 

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

The love in will be over once Canadians start losing their jobs.

 

[mentalfloss]

Depends who is losing jobs.

If they're all from Alberta than no one will really give a duck.

This response shows how absolutely out to lunch you are. People in every Province have already started losing their jobs.

Started? How many have been Free Traded away to the US, then NAFTA'd away to Mexico, then investor driven to cheap shores, then TPP'd away

meh The farther the dollar dips the less likely we are to buy stuff. If the gov't wants us to give the economy a boost then it should do what it can to make our money worth spending.
My vacuum cleaner is dying, so I think I will just find a used one on ebay or kajiji or whatever. The hell with buying a new one.

I think we are about to see a return to the recession days when Mulroney was PM.

 

[JamesBondo]

She is right.

Which is why your comment about the honeymoon makes even less sense.

I have never met anyone who was so gleeful about 10s of thousands if not a couple hundred thousand people, losing their jobs.

You are seriously one sick son of a bitch. Or maybe you were just jealous of those people making good money while your Tim Horton's "career" goes nowhere.

Awww what's the matter, she didn't say it's 2015 enough times?

As I said idiot, this will impact across the Country. Laugh all you want.

Don't worry, I'm well off.

In the mean time, I'm sure you would champion the good jobs in the public sector being axed.


There is no avoiding job loss in the energy sector as it makes a transition to renewables.

As you said already, the damage has already been done and you can thank Heirper for putting all the eggs in one basket.

It would have been a much smoother transition if we started pricing carbon years ago.

Karma's a bitch.

He's just too stupid to comprehend that the loss of oil patch jobs in Alberta doesn't just affect those working in the oil patch. Other jobs like trucking, fabrication, welding, heavy equipment mechanics.
Which is odd because you'd think Ontario's history with the auto industry would clue him in about all the feeder jobs that disappear when an industry pulls up stakes.

 

[mentalfloss]

We'll be fine as long as we make the right investment to grow other sectors of the economy instead of going with this naive low tax/austerity plan that was a remarkable failure.

Harper proved quite effectively, that less government intervention is actually more dangerous than reasonably influencing the economy.

 

[Jinentonix]

Don't worry, I'm well off.

So well off that you won't sponsor or open your home to any of the refugees that you keep championing. :lol:
But let's assume for a minute you're not full of sh*t. You've just demonstrated some good ol' right-wing attitude; "I got mine, f*ck everyone else".

In the mean time, I'm sure you would champion the good jobs in the public sector being axed.

Ah yes, resort to the strawman when you have nothing else.

There is no avoiding job loss in the energy sector as it makes a transition to renewables.

Maybe not, but only a truly sick, disturbed individual cheers the loss of tens of thousands of jobs at a time. And only a complete and utter moron argues at the same time that we need to import even more people when we're shedding good paying jobs faster than the NDP shed its support in the last election.

 

[mentalfloss]

Not at all.

The right wing attitude is that you should make the difference yourself whereas we all know that not enough people do the morally responsible thing.

That's why we will always need some level of authority.
