Sure is, it seems to be even easier for the conscience absent liberal to believe that Harper cut anything like the previous regime did, Harper is a lightweight compared to them, and he did it while maintaining the 6% elevator on health care. The evil pos, o he also did that during the worst recession we have experienced unlike the liberals who cut 40% out of the budget during a boom time, of course that was mostly necessary, to pay down the debt started by that other liberal.

Misleading analyses on Canada's supposedly poor economic performance should be ignored


Alex Ovechkin led the NHL in goals last season, with 53. But in the 1992-93 season, scoring 53 goals would have only been good for a 3-way tie for 11th place in goal scoring.

Should we dismiss Ovechkin's 2014-15 season as not a valuable contribution to his team's offense, since his 53 goals would have landed him no higher than 11th in the scoring race in 1992-93?

Of course not. Such a comparison makes no sense: in 1992-93, teams scored on average 3.63 goals per game. By contrast, the highest scoring team last year in the NHL was the Tampa Bay Lightning, which scored 3.16 goals per game.

Just as comparing Ovechkin's goal total from 2014-15 to the number of goals players scored in the 1992-93 season makes no sense, saying that Canada's economic performance under the Conservatives has been the worst among the last nine federal governments (as is the claim put forward by Unifor in a report released over the summer) is not a useful comparison.

A more useful analysis would be one that compares Canada's recent economic performance to other developed countries over the same time period. The numbers show that in recent years, Canada has experienced better economic growth, enjoyed greater increases in household gross disposable income (after-tax income), and ran lower budget deficits.
