The Torys, Greens and NDP just finished one too... Why is it that only the liberal party of Canada was bankrupt?
It costs money to run in an election. What with all the negative ads on tv to pay for. While it's nice that the Alberta base for the Tories is flush with cash thanks in no small way to the Tories support for the province, Ontario which supplies a pretty sizable chunk of the Liberal money has been the target of Federal hatchet men like Jimmy (know nothing) Flaherty. Of course the other parties are having a difficult time of it as well. Hence the coalition to form a government that Harper ran like hell and hide under the GG's bed from.:lol:
I'll give you a wee hint: It's because no one in the general public is donating to the liberals.
And yet they grow stronger and stronger each day. Oh, looks like there is enough money to fight another election on hand. Not a good sign for Harper is it?
.... And still are... And no, it isn't strange. You're problem is that you want to compare undeveloped economies to developed ones and draw parallels. It doesn't work that way.
Cow pucks! That you want to look anywhere other than at the bungling fools of the Conservative Alliance for reasons that it's not their fault is enough proof that it is. Sorry, the government is responsible for what happens to the economics of a country. You can try to blame it on the Bosa Nova all you want, but no one is going to believe you.
Paying the interest is an obligation champ... It doesn't count as principle repayment.
Heh heh heh, nice try. We aren't talking about interest and principle but Debt and Deficit. Of course interest is part of the debt. Attempting to confuse the monstrous Deficit the Harper and the boys are racking up with the massive amount of the Debt that Chretien paid down after balancing the books and getting rid of the deficit is a joke. Sadly no one is laughing except for me. And I am laughing at you.
.. So, what should be done? You appear to have all the answers, perhaps you'll share them here... Apparently, all leadership of all nations are my neocon brothers as they are deficit spending. You'll do the entire globe a big favour by giving-up the answer. hell, maybe you'll get some kind of commendation.
First things first. Get rid of these know nothing bozos and let the real government of Canada take over. Then we can get people back to work in sustainable jobs. Check south of the border and you can see it's not some conservative halfwit that can see Russia from her window that's running the country nor uncle pervy with the scurvy. It's back to sensible center left policies that will stop waging wars for oil and start the road back to people working again.
Curiously, that party with a track record of getting the economy back-on-track is who exactly?... Surely you're not requesting that Ralph Klein run the country seeing how he is the only Canadian leader that made the right decisions during a recession to spur AB's economy?
Klein also is on the hook for the clean up of the environment when it's all sold and the money is gone. Those Albertans are going to be grumbling pretty good once that happens. Mind you they will look like Saskatchewan once all the people leave with the money runs out. They will come hat in hand to Ottawa looking for transfer payments and let me tell you, Ontario will be there to take up the slack and pay for those few Albertans to have health care, law enforcement policies and RCMP to take care of all those louts that can't make it out of the province.
It's too soon to really see what will become of dear Jean. There are still some trials to be had in which his buddies may roll-over on him and like Mulroney, they can revisit the crime decades later.
I suppose after Gomery getting made a laughing stock, and having the few creeps that did commit fraud caught and sentenced, there will be nothing to bother at least the one ex-prime minister. Something I noticed though is that the brethren that are past prime ministers ends with Harper. He doesn't seem to keen on his old buddy Brian these days does he?
As for Mulroney, if he's guilty, then so be it. I have no problem with that.
Well he's already admitted to not paying his taxes on a good chunk of that cash he got from his arms dealer lobbyist bff no more. So I'll join you in raising a glass to the justice system giving him a well deserved slap and finger wag!
Victim of Tory attack ads?.. Please, when Dion wasn't busy making low-budget B movies that he hoped would pass for national press releases on his assistant's blackberry, he was busy trying to dismantle and undercut the entire national economy with his green shift... And you worry about Flaherty and the money he is spending. Dion's hobby-horse would have increased the cost of living in each and every jurisdiction on everything that directly or indirectly used oil/gas, increased taxes while simultaneously crippling multiple industries that employ the majority of Canadians... All in one fell swoop.
Dion is gone. There is no greenshift now. What there is now is a neocon that doesn't know how much money he is spending, bringing in, or promising in charge of the Canadian economy. That he has taken a stong and balanced economy, again, and turned it into a deficit ridden mess of bad choices and no clue what needs to be done. And when his boss finds out that the foolishness isn't going to be tolerated, rather than buckling down and getting things done, they close Parliament and worked at saving their own jobs while for 6 weeks the rest of Canada fell into the economic abyss.
Is it just a right wing trait to ignore what is going on in the present for what never happened with people out of the loop or something? Seems to me both you and Flaherty don't want to talk about this economy.
You mean the one that didn't actually happen anywhere else than in your head?
Ok if that's what you want.
Dead for yonks? Is that years in liberal-speak?
Yeah it's a colloquialism. Hurrah for you getting out and opening new vistas in language.
Sure, he's been low-grade maggot food for that time (even before his death), but we will have his wonderful legacy of his massive debt and national discord to remember the old coot by for decades to come.
Yeah you know the thing is about that, it's always been a Liberal government that works at reducing the debt and a Conservative one that adds to it. What up with that homie? Mind you there is that new loving relationship with Quebec that Harper has managed. heh heh yes I am kidding.
I'm talking about Iggy and Trudeau, or did you forget your comment that teachers=bad?
You're a bit thick aren't you? You should really go back and read the thread before you make any more embarrassing quotes like that one. But first my fine fellow, please do look up the definition of sarcasm so that you understand the meaning of it. You can do that can't you?
Expect Iggy to be dismissed like Dion...
Oh his time will come eventually as all politicians eventually have to go back to work, but I am confident that before that happens, Harper is going to have just butt kicked, get his papers handed to him in all the loving majesty that is the right wing way and the steps to turn the economy around will be set in place.
But I will miss that good old reform that Harper is trying to bring to his campaign especially as he is the incumbent. And I thought I would never laugh as much again when I saw him in the cowboy hat on back wards.
They are when you go on a national US television show and slag the nation that you later want to lead.
Yeah where are these again?
Apparently the good folks of Toronto wanted him to come speak... hell, they were willing to pay lots of money... I think that you'll see him on many highly paid speaking engagements in all of the nations that hate him ever so much.
They sure wanted to see him and Clinton go at it but they turned pussy in the end. Was that you out there welcoming "Mr.Reagan" to Toronto?
