Harper fails to sway Canadians

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I won't forgive the government for the billion dollar gun control, but the Sponsership scandal was peanuts. Canada's annual budget is in the order of a trillion dollars...a couple hundred million is very tiny by comparison. We are talking about a fraction of one percent.

So that made it right?

I'm glad you think you have a finger on the pulse of Canadian election issues. The protection of our Arctic was, and still is a big issue with me. Obviously, for Harper, and you, it is not.

Mr. Harper was critisized for attending a meeting in the Arctic instead of being at the Aids convention in Toronto. I think he is very involved in the idea of sovriegnty in the Arctic. Case of damned if you do....etc.

No. It wasn't right, but it also wasn't the end of the world. It didn't have nearly the negative impact that Mulroney's debt has had.

Please check your facts.

Total expenses consist of program expenses and public debt charges. In 2005–06 total expenses amounted to $209.0 billion, down $1.5 billion, or 0.7 per cent, from 2004–05.

My mistake. I had originally wrote "A quarter of a trillion dollars" in my wordpad...When I transferred it to my post, the "quarter of" didn't make it. The sponsership money was still much less than one percent.
