NDP launches attack ads on Stephen Harper’s economic record

Nah, we get screwed by each in different ways. It's the names of the parties that doesn't mean much, in effect.
Maybe if the NDP could elected by the people of our great nation. Then the NDP could help Canada's economy . If anybody is looking for work they should look in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Any Left wing liberal couldn't do half as could as Stephen Harper and the CONSERVATIVE Party of Canada.
Does nobody remember the NDP shrilling that they would bring down the minority PC government if billions were not spent pronto to counter Canada's exposure to the global recession? Now they whine about deficits?
You look it up! Facts are facts. Your facts are just a raw figure and you could try looking at what the figure means. Canda's real unemployment rate is not dropping. It is higher than before the recession.
Real unemployment includes all those who have dropped out or are underemployed.
My fact is accurate and there have been many pieces about this in the news.
To know this economy it is mandatory to shut out Harper and Flaherty and their pronouncements and look for truth.
Oh really,
The Liberals did gut the system and download a lot of the costs to the provinces, that's not the issue, they haven't even been in power for over six years so stop beating the crap out of the old strawman, it's past pathetic.
The Conservatives haven't replaced the supports that the Liberals withdrew, they've created a whole new level of debt that Canadian citizens(if we still get to keep that distinction) will be paying long after Steven Harper has left the next PM with a whole new and much greater bag to lug around.
The Conservatives weren't even honest about the need for massive deficit spending, they told us going into the second last election we'd have a balanced budget then a few months after getting relected sandbagged us with tens of billions of deficit spending often going places we'll probably never know about. If it was the Liberals doing this we'd find out as corrupt as they could be they weren't fascists when it came to controlling access to information like the current government is.
The really scarry thing about Harper and his government is we're probably not going to know the true level of damage done to the country under them until years after they're gone they're so good at hiding the facts.
We need some political RICO laws in this country, which of course the Conservatives would completely block. Even the belated reforms that were underway under Martin have been completely stopped under Steven Harper, apparently he enjoys having no real checks and balances to impeed him.
Yeah, really.
lmao Oh, stuff it, Peewee. If you think previous gov't BS has no effect on following gov't activities, you're just plain nuts. And there's also the fact that this gov't has had to weather the idiotically engineered financial crisis from 2008. But you can ignore that aspect if you want, too. lol You must be good at sweeping the dirt under the carpet and telling your wife how much you helped her out.
Yeah right. previous gov'ts did little to maintain Canada's infrastructures and look to the future. THAT has consequences. Our healthcare is a prime example of that.
Yeah the Cons invented being secretive and shifty. Good luck with that concept.
And this is different how?
Personally, I'd be happier if we had a weak fed gov't and stronger provincial gov'ts. They're a bit easier to deal with.
I didn't say that, I said the Liberals have been gone for over six years, any influence they've had is becoming ancient history with how rapidly things have changed. The whole point in having a democratic system is the freedom to change, Steven Harper wasn't forced to make many of the same bad choices and worse, it's what he wanted to do so stop acting like a sociopath and always blaming someone else for your own actions.
And once again nothing stopped Steven Harper from changing that direction, on the contrary when he and his party took power they had the support of many Canadians to bring real accountability and fairness back to our government, it's what the Reform movement was supposed to be about. Steven Harper isn't even faithful to his own political roots forget the traditions of this nation.
I didn't say they invented it, I said they institutionalized it. It's pretty damn hard to have a real democracy when you have next to no real information on what your government is doing. Informed choice requires honest information.
The stakes involved for one, but you live in some la-la land where Anthropogenic Global Warming isn't real so it's pointless trying to discuss this aspect with you.
Personally I'd be happier if we had our democratic control back, starting with effective access to information and no more illegal elections activities on the part of the Conservatives. It's impossible to claim they respect us or our system of government when they break the laws that get them elected in the first place.
lmao Spin it all you want.
Yep. We haven't had a democracy in Canada for a long time. You expected it to change under Harpy?
You expected differently?
I'm blaming someone else for my actions? Sorry, I don't excuse past gov't actions just because there's someone new in. That's your bag.
True, but I still won't blame Harpy for all of Canada's woes. And once again, you ASSume that I am particularly fond of Harpy. I'm not.
lol Yeah, the previous gov'ts never hid anything.I still can't see why you're so upset that Harpy's gov't is much different.
Please point out where I said that, you poor ****ing moron. roflmao That is YOU and your ASSumption. Not consistent with the facts.
Yeah, for someone with as little ammo as you have, I can understand that.
Eh, Cons are just a different party in gov't and have their own versions of disaster. But you run along and hope for some other party to be Canada's panacea.
You say that every time you can't answer the question, lol.
Good thing we didn't say that than eh?
But the projects I have worked on, and the many I will in the next three years, are partly funded by Action Plan Canada. The big signs at the site entrances are a dead give away.
An architect you say? Tell me more, while I laugh at you.
Your BS aside. It's been in limbo, and on and off work for 15 years, while the projects have been starved of funding.
This I KNOW, because I live and play near and on the Trent. It's a big part of our local economy.
Except finally cough up the cash. LOL!
They were already flat, I just punched a hole in his tanks.
And you distort them at will.
If I want to know how the economy is doing, that last people I listen to are politicians. Unlike you.

If you expect the worst you get the worst, it's people like you that make Steven Harper as PM possible.
"You can't fight city hall" is bull****, if you want a truly representational political system you have to fight city hall or anybody else who tries to assume control that legally and morally belongs to the electorate.
That "attack add" simply plays to one group of people. The stupid people who will always remain within the NDP cozy comorter... Even a Liberal understand what transpired in the great year, 2008. NPD-ers are simply too stupid, too brainwashed, and cloaked in Jack Laytons rosy blazer. NDP-er are so short minded that they cant seem to recall that Dion and Layton forced this defeciet...
Deficit or no deficit, all Canadians have to do is look at our countries economy in relation to other G7 countries..
The only question I have is; "if our economy is so bad and fragile, with a deepening deficit, as their ad claims, why was Mulcair offering Canadian taxpayer money to bail out Europe?"
Is that the NDP plan on physical responsibility?
