Canadian economy heading for recession

There are some interesting concepts in that drivel. Like tax cuts are a drain on the treasury. By that theory letting taxpayers keep any of their paycheques is robbing the federal treasury.Must be new math.
Can't have the gubmint looking to downsize gvt or possibly find efficiencies.... That would be real bad
I think any voter with an iota of sense will realize the drop in oil prices had NOTHING to do with Harper and will also realize the wheels are now falling off Jr.'s wagon.
No one believes Harper is responsible for oil prices.
That's as obvious as the recession we are in right now.
What people object to, is the fact that we disproportionately developed resource extraction and now our economy is significantly affected by performance in those sectors.

I always find it amusing that Harper gets up on his soapbox and trys to take responsibility for how good the economy is and then say how Junior would not have the experience to manage it.
But then takes absolutely no responsibility when the economy is in the toilet and people are losing jobs left and right.
He has had just one majority, and has showed his true colors
I don't think anyone could do much worse
perhaps Brian Mulroney.
Canada needs a change, unless you like beening a warmongering Third World country covered in pollution and ran by big business.
The decision is yours

PoopsieFloss, you are an idiot. Did you read my post on how both Libs and Cons both got together and set forth a plan to build and expand Pacific ports and the infrastructure to get Canadian made goods to the Asia, Australia and Indian sub continent markets?
What is your solution for getting ON goods to those markets? Truck goods on single lane highways and single track rail to nonexistent berths where no ships can load up and set sail to the far east?
Would you dump money into ON manufacturing without trans Canada infrastructure to get those goods to the Pacific or would you ship from Halifax where ships have to go all the way south to Panama the then head back north to get to Japan, China all the way down and into the Indian ocean?
Since your aren't bright enough to grasp this concept you best be sticking to changing passwords and spinning wax yo.
SK,AB and MB oil paid for it all with a fraction of the debt it would take otherwise to build the most important project since the transcontinental railway in the late 1800s.

There is very little the federal government could do to boost manufacturing in Ontario. The decline in manufacturing has been in decline since long before Harper came on the scene. The simple fact is that muscle jobs will go where muscle is cheap. With the single exception of resource extraction. Those jobs go to where resources are. And they pay well. Ontario and Quebec created most of their own problems with high taxes, high wages and excessive regulation. Industry simply can't compete in that environment.
Notice that the "good" nations are lacking access to Canadian goods?
The cost to of shipping from Eastern Canada through Panama and then back north makes Eastern Canadian goods unattractive.

You wouldn't be working up coast without Fed money. The money for AP Gateway didn't fall from the sky.
Ride it out and continue to open up the west. In 2 to 3 years we are set for the future. When Obama is gone and the GOP take control next year the US attack on our economy will cease.
You might be on to sumpin. Think maybe G.O.P. have better business heads than the Dems?
