You mean send it to every Liberal MP, don't you? Conservative MPs are of course paragons of virtue, Godly men (after all, Conservative Party is the party of God).

Why would a sane person be averse to tax cuts to the most heavily taxed members of society? Wouldn't it be natural to give bigger cuts to those who are taxed the most than those who are taxed the least. Take the person at the bottom of the wage scale who only pays perhaps a $thousand or $two a year- how would you propose giving them a bigger tax than someone who is pay $100 thousand a year?
That means it is a statistical dead heat. Also, I don't know if we are looking at the same poll, but most of the lead is in BC. That probably is a temporary bump due to Olympics. The race is dead heat. The acolytes' dream of the Promised Land of majority remains as elusive as ever.
" But the reason for that is that Harper has moved to the centre. "
So why are you labelling "accolytes" of Harper "right wing" instead of "centrist"?

Now here you may have a point. It may be pointless to try convince a conservative that deficit is bad for the economy. A conservative thinks that money to finance the deficit just comes, falls out of the sky, so to speak. A conservative thinks that it is perfectly OK to rack up huge debt for our children and our grandchildren. But I keep trying.
Sure she will. What is the surest consequence of huge deficit, uge debt? High unemployment, she may lose her job. High inflation, she will have difficulty making ends meet. Cuts in government services, which will affect her adversely (if government cuts back on day care subsidy for her, she may have to quit her job and go on welfare).
Huge debt and huge deficit always affect poor more than the rich.

I am averse to tax cuts to anybody in the present conditions, when we are running huge deficits. Also I am averse to giving tax cuts at the expense of getting rid of the surplus, like Harper did.
Tax cuts must not come at the expense of budget deficit, that is liberal thinking. Tax cuts at any cost and hang the deficit, that is conservative thinking.
Because that is how they come across to me. They are opposed to any gun control, they are opposed to minimum wage, they want to bring back the death penalty, they want to privatize health care system. Those are very much far right position, at least here in Canada, and not centre right.
No, No No, they are not far right anything. They are just how normal center of the road people think. They like to take care of themselves. Nothing left or right about it. You don't speak for Canada anymore than I speak for the United States. :smile:

Apparently you missed the clue. If the "single mother" - or anyone for that matter - has no taxable income, then they are in a low-paying job or on some form of assistance. One would think someone who claims to be advocating for the poor would know that.
And guess what? the record is 69 years Liberals to 20 years Conservatives although your litany of sh!t in the Liberal past, prior to 2004 is looking for politicians of no wrong doing. We did confirm the fact that the Devil who can do the math gets the job.
$100 Billion onto the federal debt is dismal math, when in fact they told Canadians they can do the job, and instead they earned the name PANSIES, LIARS, CHEATS AND HYPOCRITES .
That's a pretty broad assessment of conservatives in Canada. Many conservatives I have spoken to are of the fiscal variety and not so much social.
Cuts in government services? Isn't that a Liberal concept? One that you have supported here as a way of dealing with a deficit? In other words, the Liberal solution is to hurt the poor single mother.
Ah but you see, in SJP's world there is no room for moderates or people who embrace some ideas but not the entire platform of a specific party. As much as he used to deride amd denigrate George W. Bush's "with us or against us" mentality, it is very much the one he operates under. He continually berates "conservatives" for their intolerance but he sterotypes and pigeonholes anyone who refuses to accept his brand of Liberalism and worship at the altar of the Liberal God P.E. Trudeau.
.Harper is surfing on the wave of low interest rates due to the world economic problem, and guess what, that is a lucky chance for Canadians, had inters rates been high looking at his dismal record in two minority terms, borrowing during high rates Canada could have seen the next 20 years running deficits, he did nothing to have interest rates this low, keep believing B S and further confirming that you love mismanagement, because u were given a bone with no meat to keep you from making noise, while he gets away with idiocy economics. But lucky time is running out for his pack.
Good day S JP, he not only confirms hero worship, he also confirms that Emerson being a corrupt Liberal, Harper over looks a bank robed Liberal on ethics.
What is that say for Harper? a total opportunist, had Emerson not crossed the floor Harper would have been kept out of Vancouver center, which would have altered the numbers, and when in fact the people in Vancouver center did not vote Conservative. Talking about people that worship crap for reality.......
Sorry ironsides, but the policies I outlined in that post, banning gay marriage, privatizing health care system, bringing back death penalty, abolishing minimum wage, are considered distinctly right wing in Canada, there is nothing centre right about them. Any party leader who advocates one or more of these policies will be committing political suicide here in Canada.
Why, Harper wouldn't touch any of them with a ten metre pole.
