NDP launches attack ads on Stephen Harper’s economic record

[Cabbagesandking]

That part of the "Action Plan" is virtually over. As it was, it was a grudging acceptance of the reality that the government had to do something as the whole world was doing.

It was entirely inadequate: ignore many shovel ready projects for more visible, vote getting ones. The Action Plan in the earlier phase helped only the middle to upper middle class who could afford to do their renovation projects without the assistance. It did not help those who needed help and whose use of grant money would have been a great stimulus.

The present updated Plan includes deregulation where regulation is essential. The removal of safeguards to the health of the Nation. Job losses instead of the jog creation it trumpets.

It is an economic disaster but a PR triumph since the PR is all that the majority of the population will ever make themselves familiar with.

And the opposition demanded, lol.

What a load of crap. None of the projects I've worked on, made anything more than quiet local papers.

Do the 1%ers own all those goodies? Yes or no?

It's not over. Not by a long shot. Where are you from? I bet there is at least one in the works right now and more slated right where you live.

That's the truth. The highways up north aren't done yet.

 

[petros]

That's the truth. The highways up north aren't done yet.

They aren't done here either and won't be for another 10 years minimum.

The Libs started it 10 years ago and the Cons hit the ground running. The Action Plan is fully supported straight across the board by ALL parties.

The Trent Severn is need of some serious repair, so are many of the bridges along her.

That doesn't even include the Native Learning centre reno's.

Yep. So any flaws, are shared, lol.

The GTH GTH | Global Transportation Hub – Saskatchewan's Gateway to the World whcih is tied to the Asia Pacific Gateway is our biggest locally. It's a massive undertaking that has a long long way to go.

You need to stretch your minds a little. Don't do it too quickly or suddenly. It can hurt the first time.

You don't have to resort to personal attacks just because you proven wrong, yet again.

You could do the mature thing and just concede.

 

[petros]

How come you didn't answer the questions?

 

[CDNBear]

How come you didn't answer the questions?

Because they don't suit his reality.

 

[Cabbagesandking]

Because the question is nonsensical. Your talking of some project you work on and the Bear doing so does not make a National Policy.

The fact is, as I have said, that real unemployment in Canada has not recovered from the recession and that is because of an ill advised economic strategy (Iuse the word loosely). And I have said what it is not doing. Not what bridge I am working on.

And Bear! I know an architect who has been wroking on that Trent and the extension of the Highway to the 115. He has been doing so for at least 15 years. The CPC has done nothing that was not already in the works.

 

[captain morgan]

And the opposition demanded, lol.

Shame on you Bear.. Why Cabbage was on such a vibrant ideological role right up to the point where you let the air out of his tires.

 

[damngrumpy]

I love the line that Canada is the best in the industrialized world. I can't help
but laugh, the rest of the world is on life support and some its questionable
that they will live. Canada is just above life support thank you for that.
The nice thing is we get to go to hell in a hand basket. If the rest collapse we
will go down hard. Harper saved us from nothing, wait till the masses find out.
All that stimulus package money didn't do the trick so they will have to print some
more money. Besides we are such a wonderful country making new bills, I heard
on the radio today that some are melting. You heard right in some high heat
conditions these bills won't stand up to heat. Who was the government genius
who came up with this?
Maybe its a government conspiracy they print more money hoping it will melt and
your money will just disappear.

 

[captain morgan]

Lemme guess: Had Harper not been in power then there would have never been the global financial meltdown.

Is that about right, or is your opinion that you'd prefer that the decisions Harper made to be reversed and Canada be in the sh*tter along with some other nations because misery loves company?

 

[petros]

Because the question is nonsensical. Your talking of some project you work on and the Bear doing so does not make a National Policy.

What project do I work on? I'm not in construction or engineering. I'm just some lowly geoscientist who apparently knows **** all about our planet and it's working systems.

 

[captain morgan]

Perhaps the biggest problem with attack ads is that they don't change anyone's mind but rather just entrench ideological prejudices on either side, which is not healthy for democracy.

Like them or not, they are effective in their own right and that's why all parties use them

 

[L Gilbert]

We went from a minor deficit or balanced budget to massive deficits under the Conservatives, often as they rammed spending through with little or no oversight. People who talk about how irresponsible the NDP are going to be with our money conveniently ignore how bad things already are.

Yeah, and why is that? Because the Gliberals castrated so many social programs, plundered funds meant for Ei and other things, and offloaded tons of responsibilities to the provinces without much warning at all. So the dickhead balanced the budget and paid off a small fraction of the public debt for a couple years. Big funking deal. Harpy has his faults but he was also left holding a large bag of crap that aPAULing Martin handed him.

In the grand scheme of things, the only difference in 'which' political party undermines society is in name only

Your "facts" are BS. Canada's unemployment rate has been dropping slowly since late 2009. Look it up.

Yeah, they do have their impact on the less intelligent of the species.
