If an election is on its way, and has been forever, I believe that Harper's steam would be cut to a few puffs if the Trudeau sons got into the fray. Just seems though that Margaret cannot convince Sasha. Pierre would have encouraged him and convinced him. As we are becoming one of the world's leading nations we don't need a P.M. who is in Bush's back pocket.

Yes it does. Mulroney had a forty or fifty billion dollar deficit every year he was in office for no good reason. Trudeau could at least blame a world wide depression. Granted, he inherited a debt from Trudeau but divided by the nine years Mulroney was in office, it was nothing. One of Mulroney's big election promises was to reign in the debt...funny eh....

The same guy who gave us the GST which helped the Liberals reduce and eliminate the deficit, the same who brought us free trade which has helped not hindered us and the same guy who pushed the world to pressure South Africa to end Apartheid and succeeded?

Technically, we're still paying for John A's CPR and Laurier's Canadian Northern, Grand Trunk Pacific too. Doesn't matter who's in, someone's going to have a nose out of joint. Righties cry when Libz are in. Left gets pooped on when Tories get to the trough. The only winners are the lawyers.... You're thinking of turdoh.
Woof!

Horse feathers!
The debt that Mulroney, and Cambell handed to the next government was well over five hundred billion dollars. That debt is still mostly there and Canadians will be paying it for years. Just the interest on that debt is almost 30 billion dollars a year.

Also, I think it sound policy to spend with defict to pull countries out of reccession.
Like John Tory this week saying the Libs should get rid of civil servants, why lay more people off when the economy is in for a bumpy ride? Better to invest than give a tax cut that could end up offshore.

The deficit is gone and the debt is being paid down on the back of the GST thus reducing interest paid. That debt was not only the fault of the Tories btw the Libs share over half of it. Horse feathers!
