Conservatives at 41% - majority territory

GenGap

Empty anger??

Believe me. There are plenty of things that anger me about the Liberal party of Canada.

I could start a list, but I would be typing for about a week and half.

I see, do you have any links for this claim?

I'd like to read them.

I have to say, the last half a year or so the Conservatives have looked awfully Liberal to me, in regards to their free spendings, their sudden focus on the environment, and pandering to the other left wing parties to gain support for motions to pass. I'm surprised that many of the staunch Conservative supporters are in favour of this style of 'right-wing party doing left-wing actions', because they sure weren't supporting it when the same actions were being done by the party across the floor. But I guess if your party's name is at the top, that's good enough."

While I have been in favour of some of the actions taken by this government, they have also come across as smug, arrogant and quite babyish in their interviews and in the HoC debates, and it's a real turn-off; I can't remember the last time I heard a Harper, Baird, Ambrose, etc. quote without the words "but the Liberals" or "compared to the Liberals" being used to justify whatever the government is doing at the current time. We get it, and you know what, we don't care anymore; it's old news. I want to see you lead and move the country forward, not listen to you drone on with a skewed history lesson from 13 years ago. Until this party starts acting like they're in government, and not playing the same tune they did while in opposition (which comes across as quite sad on both the national and the international stage), they won't be seeing my vote.

If an election was called today it would be a liberal minority!

I agree, the conservatives need to be bottle fed right now, yet babys grow. The only way they will trully grow as a government is too clean up their government, starting with Emerson, Baird, and Day.

Actually, it was the other way around. As the Liberals downloaded costs to Ontario, he was forced to do the same. The Feds paid 50 cents of every healthcare dollar into Ontario before Cretin and Martin. 2 years later the 50 cents became 17 cents.

The Liberals never returned any money back to the provinces. Are you going to claim just as the Liberals do that the fiscal imbalance is a myth?

Yes of course. It's easy to prophesize the future oh great one. Just like if we give the Liberals another majority they will take the rest of our tax dollars instead of just skimming.

I give credit, where credit is due. The Liberals did do some things right. Mostly Martin (as finance minister), less so Chretien. Hell I voted Liberal my whole life up until the red book fiasco.

Still hanging on to the hidden agenda boogey man I see? Boo!!

Not everything in the known world fits on to a web page. Go figure out what FA Hayek would say about Harper setting up a competitive government business where there's no natural monopoly and take it from there. For my part suffice it to say that Strahl's vision for the Wheat Board couldn't be further from classical liberalism if you put an il Duce T-shirt on it.

Forced to do the same eh? So if they were forced to why weren't the Libs who faced a huge deficit like Ontario, you can't claim one was right while the other wasn't.

It's easy to ask for some sort of proof.

...
I'm not asking for much here.

Are we talking about the same defecit that was created by the accounting firm "hired" by the provincial Liberals? How convenient. I guess SARS, storms and a black out which shut down Ontario for 3 days could have nothing to do with it either.

All Mcguinty needed was a tax grab of $900 per Ontario resident for 4 straight years to balance that sucker out. $22 billion in extra revenue to balance a bogus 3.5 billion dollar defecit.

I've provided the exact same amount of proof as you did. Thanks for proving my point.

Avro

only senseless pedantry. either you understand the horse Harper rode in on or you don't. I couldn't care less. if its that important to you I'll go back and edit my original statement by prefixing it with IMO even though it will be obviously redundant.

Keep drinking that kool aid. It would be pretty tough for the Liberals to win an election with 22% support.

The Liberals were booted from power to clean up their act. But all they did was vote in another lawyer from Quebec with ties to Chretien and Martin.

Nice job. Have fun looking across the floor at the government. You'll be looking for a long time.

crit13

Proof of what, that Iraq didn't have WMD's, unmaned drones, mobile weapons factories, nuclear programs links to Al Queada, links to 9/11....all of it bs and the evidence was flimsy supporting any of it.

Your not in touch with your government. Some people get 100 bucks a month if they have kids. I Eat popcorn and drink beer while you work!

I'm looking at another government that needs to be booted to clean up their act. At least the liberals are still in the house unlike the previous corrupt conservative government.

The fact remains that the Liberals are a corrupt and bankrupt party that's sporting a leader that has a greater allegiance to the country of France than Canada. Good luck in the next election. lol
