Mulcair takes huge lead over Harper in election poll on economy
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
Oh I pay attention all right. I agree, we've never controlled oil prices so why are so many blaming Harper because they're so low? The perception is exactly that - our government controls EVERYTHING!! That's simply not true.
As for "investment into a diverse portfolio of business" that means intervention and, quite frankly, if there was an easy answer to some of these so called "investments" government wouldn't have to lift a finger because private enterprise would willingly invest in (whatever) themselves. When government "invests" (i.e. intervenes") almost inevitably its money thrown away. Those businesses fail. There may certainly be exceptions, but its generally not the rule.
And finally, its the job of government to look internationally for free trade, negotiating the dropping of barriers etc., etc. so I would expect no less. There are those, however, who feel that we shouldn't trade with anyone - I'm just sayin'....

Energy independence and freedom from the US dollar benchmarks means one day Feds can control the price within Canada.
Fixed income funds are where Feds invest in public traded companies.
CPP did 18% last fiscal year. Your market goods consumption today is paying for your retirement tomorrow.
Bailouts to keep ON alive are not the same as revenue investments like CPP or EI fund.
Damn kids don't know nothin'.

Look at their source for information. Tyee news, huff post, the Guardian Toronto news papers. Can't really expect much with that kind of background. Flossy even thinks Harper has done poorly on the environment front when in reality he has eliminated miles of red tape that have been holding back development.
Probably thinks eliminating the corrupt long gun registry was bad too because that is what his so called news sources say.
And Adrian Dix took a huge lead over Christy Clark until election day! When will all the idiots who follow polls (and believe them) get a fricken brain? Who is paying the wages for these pollster parasites? Put the bastards out of business and maybe they will find a real job. (Hoping against hope)
You have to remember Flossie is not an authority on matters politic.

When you are piss poor with mathematics you take psychology, journalism, arts or law.
Lot of truth there, methinks. My brother wasn't good at math and ended up teaching school.
If you want to hire someone to do some real work A.K.A. labour, do not hire any one who has taken a psychology course.
You're absolutely correct when you say Feds invest in public traded companies - my bad. I was talking about a different investments, specifically in start-up or "new" developments.
Yes CPP did very well.
As to "energy independence and freedom for the US dollar benchmarks", I doubt if that means the Feds can control the price within Canada. It will continue to be a supply and demand situation. The one way the Feds can control the price is by taxing it to death so at the end of the day we'll end up paying more than the market value. They'll tell us that its a way to control "green house gases" and to discourage private transportation, thus resulting in higher costs for goods and produce. Yep, that's what'll happen alright.
Who is bailing out Ontario? I heard on the radio the other day that Ontario's debt is higher than California, the US's biggest state, and it has the highest debt for any jurisdiction its size in the world! Wow!! Ms. Wynn must be proud that she's #1 in something eh?

There's just one problem, Cliffy, as horrible as Harper is I don't see one of the other leaders as being an improvement. Mulcair and Jr. are full of sh*t and May isn't broad enough and I can't see her generating many $20 and $30 an hour jobs.
I think that graphic isn't directed at people who think Harper is the shiniest **** in the pile.
It's directed at morons who vote out of spite rather than practicality for what is best for your constituency and community.
Well, I am in the process of drawing up some questions for the 4 candidates in my riding to try to determine who is the most competent, most trustworthy and most honest and most important the one who is able to have the most influence on the P.M. regardless of the party of either the candidate or the P.M. I personally feel it's time we forget the partisan B.S. and put more power in our local officials. There is no real difference between Liberal and Conservative and the N.D.P. will say anything if it means gaining power.
