You might want to study some economics before you make that statement... Unless, of course, you want to hang your hat on Dutch Disease as the cause of all evils
Trade deficits, recessions, plummeting loonie, failed pipeline projects, failed free trade deals, not balancing the budget, worst record of all G7 countries this year, worst economic performance since WWII.
What else needs to happen to pull you guys out of denial? Lol

Worst econ performance was the after math of PET... He too, was just not ready.
PS - The falling loonie is a direct result of Dutch Disease... True story
Harper made Obama financially attack Canada? Did YOU want Harper to cut the NEB loose on BC and ON?
Are we convinced that Mulcair's is better than a broomstick? We already no Justin's isn't.
Harper can't even work his own country's premiers and you expect national leader's to take him seriously?
The guy's a joke.
Well, what with all that ample facial and neck hair, I'd wager that Mulcair's face would make an excellent floor cleaning device.... Might be a bit too bristly, so he's no good on hardwoods, but lino, he'll be perfect
I view this as the Lieberal Premier of a certain province is not working with him in order to score political points for her federal counterpart. Either that or she is still pouting that he didn't help her with her new tax. I haven't really heard too many complaints from other premiers aside from the new NDP one who is doing the same on behalf of Mulcair.
PM plays no role in Provincial matters. Did you want the NEB cut loose?
Must be. BC and it's Liberals have been showered in cash.
He doesn't work any of the premiers on a frigging pipeline lol
Think about that for a second.

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair is firing back after being accused of not supporting the export of Canadian resources.
Mulcair believes Stephen Harper is at fault for not getting more access to foreign markets.
Toronto NDP Candidate Linda McQuaig said some of the oil from northern Alberta might have to be left in the ground, causing a harsh rebuttal from the Tories.
Mulcair says he is open to exporting Canadian natural resources, but it must be done in an environmentally sound way.
“The reason that none of these projects is getting off of the drawing board is because Mr Harper thought he could get away with environmental laws that the public and the environment need,” says Mulcair. “Canada’s reputation is being hurt on the world stage simply because we’ve been working consistently against the planet. We’re the only country in the world to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol.”
Mulcair veered away from any comments about leaving oil in the ground.
“Our position is that if we can, of course, develop our natural resources as long as it’s done sustainably.”

Mulcair should not be bringing up oil issues. It highlights a weakness in his party platform.
