Least Popular Prime Minister

[#juan]

Mr. Mulroney inherited debts and deficits from the Liberals and had to tackle a recession and that is the same reason I give Bob Rae a pass on the Ontario economy at the time.
Nine deficit budgets in a row and you blame it on the liberals? Kim Cambell handed Chretien a 46 billion dollar deficit and Chretien balanced the budget in three years.

Without the GST the current Liberal government wouldn't have posted one single surplus.
They worked with what they had. Too bad Mulroney didn't.

Gone there and stayed? Nice respect for the work he did for millions of blacks.
Be nice if he did something for millions of Canadians.

Free trade was better for Americans? That is categorically untrue.

Free trade did us a lot of good with softwood lumber didn't it. It may as well not have existed. If Harper had been elected sooner, he would have given the whole thing back. Free trade was better for the U.S. or they wouldn't have signed it.

We're doing better now because we voted their lying asses out of office and put the real government back in power. Thank God the Liberals had such a long term to fix Conservative mis-use. Anyway, the whole history of this country is basic, the Liberals are the ruling party, and from time to time we let the Conservatives babysit to teach the Liberals a lesson when they get too high on themselves. most people don't vote Conservative, they actually vote against the Liberals.Takes a few years under the Conservatives and people can't wait to put the real government back into office.

The REAL government?

You mean the ones that sign idiotic environmental protocols with absolutely no intention of ever living up to them?

You mean the guys that turn one of the major wings of their party (Quebec) over to the f88king MOB?

You mean the guys that stole an alleged 100 million for the aforementioned party wing and their buddies?

You mean the guys that promote alleged "made men" to cabinet?

You mean the guys that eviscerated our military?

OH MI GOD, it goes on and on and on and on and on. Bear listed two hundred acts of disgrace by the federal liberals in a previous post. TWO HUNDRED!!!! Chretien belongs in a maximum security prison.

The major achievement of 13 years of rule by Liberal scum is that it made Lyin' Brian look GOOD in comparison.

If the Liberals are REAL government, for God's sake, let's get us some fantasy gov't.

I know we won't agree on a lot of issues Colpy but I'm still pi$$ed about what the Liberals didn't do for our military. On the other hand, Mulroney didn't do much for them either.

What was eviscerated, was the PC party, and that was done by the people.

I have to plead ignorance about the mob connection. I thought "mob" and "politician" were synonymous.....

I said the deal was a good one, the fact that the Americans try and change the rules proves it. Just look at the amount of trade between the U.S. and Canada and may I add we have a trade surplus with them. Hate the deal all you want but it was a good one and the facts prove it.

Mulroney tried to buy helicopters and the Libs canceled it and btw the Libs also in the last few years committed billions to the military and Harper is continuing that.

The NDP would melt the guns into beads and have the soldiers knit yogurt while singing coum-by-ya.:laughing7:

This poll points out the obvious liberal bias in this forum. We have Harper with 36% of the vote for worst PM and yet he has made no glaring mistakes and has in fact attempted to keep a lot of his election promiese. He has also brought pride and moral back to the military with his recent purchases and direction. His popularity in Canada is also growing and well ahead of his opponents. Maybe someone could explain to me why he is the worst PM?

Perhaps some didn't like him when he canceled the income trust loop hole after he promised not to.

Or maybe they don't like how he runs the government from the PMO and doesn't allow his own members to speak.

Perhaps they don't buy his position on the environment after he canceled liberal programs and hastily restored them after he found out the public cared about the environment.

Perhaps they are still waiting for some movement on health care wait times.

Perhaps they don't like the media being shut out.

Perhaps they didn't like it when he complained about floor crossing and immediately appointed Emerson to a cabinet position.

Perhaps they though appointing an unelected member to the senate and giving him a cabinet position.

Perhaps they didn't like it when he wooed Kahn over to the government side claiming he was working on a crucial report on Afghanistan and promised to release said report when he never did.

Perhaps they don't like attack ads before a campaign has even started.

Perhaps they don't like how vague he has been on Kyoto or global warming.

Perhaps they feel daycare delivered in the mail isn't the right approach.

Maybe they didn't like money promised to aboriginal communities being canceled.

Perhaps they didn't like money for women issues being cut.

Someone who is biased wouldn't notice these things though.

There are reasons why the U.S. and Canada are each other's best customer and it is not the FTA. Since we have a common border with the U.S. that runs right accross the continent our shipping costs must be lower than that of any other country except Mexico. Everone else has to get their products across an ocean.

Funny thing is he was good enough to beat Martin, and he's more popular than any party leader we have right now. All this poll does is reflect the anti-conservative population of this forum

Sure it's good enough, Harper has turned Liberal on his policies and some, believe it or not don't like him for the reasons I mentioned.

Try it over at CKA and see what results you get over at con headquarters.

One thing I have noticed over here is there isn't a constant daily hatred spewed at Muslims.

Explain the increase in trade since free trade.

If free trade was to be a big burdon on Canada why do we have a trade surplus with the U.S.?

I can understand people saying least popular, because that reflects their opinion. But worst PM would suggest he's done something wrong.

Decades ago the accusation against NDP military policy was that it consisted solely of issuing tapes to every radio station in the land to be played in case of attack...."We surrender.....don't hurt us......we surrender.....don't hurt us"

No Mulroney didn't do much for them.........

As for the mob connections, it is hard to believe, but........

Our buddy Gagliano was IDed by an FBI informant in Buffalo New York as a "made man" and an "really important guy up there". One could discount that except one needs to ask How has some lowly Mob soldier in Buffalo even HEARD of Alphonso Gagliano?

The one-time President of the Liberal Party in Quebec was absolutely terrified to testify at Gomery......he demanded personal protection.

One of the bag-men (his name escapes me) was known as "the boss". He inspired the fear in the old President. Not only that, one time a few years ago "the boss" had his car blow up in his driveway when he started it with a remote car starter - in JULY!

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and is IDed by an FBI informant as a duck.......its probably a duck.:laughing7:

Some people feel that way just like they do about Mulroney but it dosen't mean it's bias....it could be but it's not proof.

I didn't select one, the list isn't complete, but if were to I'd probally go for one that didn't keep their job that long.

Turdoh was by far the worst. Lieing (wage and price controls), associating with the wrong crowd(only leader to attend funeral was Fidel), increasing taxes hugely, interest rates at almost 20%, unemployment in the low teens %, flipping the bird to Canadians, NEP...

Trudeau was the best thing that happened to Canada. He was a strong man, an excellent PM. We have yet to have a man his equal since he retired.

No way you're serious.His vision, his policies, all make him great. We could use a man like him now.

Lots of talk on this list about the most popular Prime Minister of recent times. Just for fun, which of the past ten Prime Minister's did, or do, you dislike the most?

Note: You can make more than one choice;-)

Now you tell me. :roll.

ChRETIeN, Lyin Brian, aPAULing Martin,Turdeau in that order.
