Saint's preserve us. I wonder if Harper's speech writers wrote this for Michelle Jean. It says absolutely nothing.

OTTAWA - Warning Canadians that the global credit crunch has "dragged the world economy into a crisis whose pull we cannot escape," the Harper government promised to inject immediate stimulus into the economy while promoting long-term growth and avoiding a "return to permanent deficits."
In its speech from the throne, which lays out the government's priorities for the new parliamentary session, the government Monday underscored the economic challenges facing the country.
"Today, we meet at a time of unprecedented economic uncertainty. The global credit crunch has dragged the world economy into a crisis whose pull we cannot escape," states the speech, delivered by Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean in the Senate.

Was there any word about getting "shovels in the ground"? We need to get something in the ground but it isn't shovels, though they will help.

Well....

1. The ground is still frozen :roll:

2. It's the gov't. Immediate generally means sometime before the next election
