socialist

This is my only account. Sorry you don't like the fact that I walk your partisan line anymore. Who was I before? If you know then tell me. Otherwise, close your yap if you have no proof. You ant people to keep their heads in the sand with regards to your beloved NDP. I now see them for what they really are. I took my blinders off. Maybe you should try it.

The dour-faced socialists will have to spend their first few years learning that there are budgets and beancounters, debt financing, and endless lines of rent-seekers in addition to their union masters. The end result will be large deficits, poor bond ratings, high unemployment, some idiotic foreign agreements, but the reality of Canada's resource dependency hits home eventually, even to the NDP. Remember, the NDP is just the union-brand version of "progressive conservatives" on steroids. The LPC is simply a confused husk of a progressive centre-left formerly happy-faced socialist party currently under simpleton leadership.

Mulcair & the NDP plan to revive the Kyoto corpse at Paris in November. Not one journalist that I'm aware of has asked Mr Mulcair to confirm he intends to sign Canada on to binding CO2 reductions, the like of which would ground our economy to depression. But they listen to him when he complains Harper has presided over two recessions - in nearly ten years with one barely a recession and now likely over - iow normal economics. We're doing better than everyone but at this moment apparently the socialist states of America is held up as statist success, in spite of the reality her recovery has been driven by private fracking of oil & gas, not government hostile to O&G development. This would be on top of higher taxes for everyone, lots more regulation and all of us under the thumb of socialist apparatchiks beholden to statist rent seekers. A cursory look at the AB NDP tells the story. Mulcair's free ride must end. His refusal to return $2.7m of taxpayer dollars must be questioned. His support for 50% +1 vote for separation by any province must be rebutted. His nonsense about $5b cost for $15/day national day care must be refuted. His smoke and mirrors, peek a boo nonsense has to stop now. It's been said the population is divided into thirds: one third do the work, make the productivity and prosperity happen; one third live off the one third who produce; one third govern the other two thirds. So, all a politician has to do is win over two thirds against one third. Guess which two groups Mulcair is trying to win over. A poll just came out that said 1/3 of Canadians feel they're "falling behind," whatever that means. So, 2/3 feel that are "not falling behind." That should be plenty of votes to secure a Harper majority. That sentiment must be tapped into; the heck with "divisive politics" mantra from dippers and grits; to heck with the media's sneering assessment of Harper who is doing a great job here and internationally except according to the Kyoto kleptocrats & watermelons who want to sell our economy down the Seine River this November in Paris.

It is becoming increasingly likely that angry Tom will be our next PM. That worries me. But what worries me more is the quality of MPs that will be brought aboard. They are some of the most naïve, inexperienced, historically illiterate people you will ever meet. The NDP won't win a majority unless Ontario elects to commit suicide. I still have a certain amount of faith in the province that won't be the case. And Justin; he certainly is living up to his credentials.

I don't think a lot of people realize what's at stake in Paris, the UN wants to form a Climate Justice Tribunal (aka World Government) funded to the tune of $100B a year with "contributions" from the Western Governments (the guilty ones) that will grant itself the right to over rule sovereign nations on any issue that may affect the climate and or charge countries that violate and laws. Mulcair and Trudeau are eager to sign up. Harper not so much. I think any Western Democracy leader that signs onto this should be tried for treason.

This is what NDP governments do. Is this what you want federally? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-s-credit-rating-downgraded-due-to-growing-debt-1.3147120

So you agree with the minister campaigning in another province? Wow.

The NDP are making all the right sounds, and Tom may actually believe what he is saying, but he has a whack of candidates who want to see the floodgates open and the feds getting into everything possible. So I don't think he has the balls to say no to his star candidates!

He shouldn't be fired. neither should an atheist bus driver if s/he was asked to drive a bus covered with writings fro the Koran.

Like the NDP's $2.7 million for the mystery satellite offices that kind of lying?

The Conservatives DID NOT take 57 billion out of EI. There was only 'one' 57 billion EI surplus that was posted between the Martin/Chretien and Harper governments. The Conservatives never saw 54 billion of that money from EI because the 54 billion that was accumulated by the Liberal Party was spent by Martin/Chretien to pay down the debt. That 54 billion was 'only on paper' as debt that was owed to EI from the Martin/Chretien government. The money went into general revenue and Martin used the money but left it on paper as a debt. The Harper Conservatives 'wrote off the debt'.

It still boggles my mind that the NDP is sticking to saying they are going to balance the budget. What, are they just going to wait on implementing all of these expensive campaign promises? Because 15$/day daycare+Foreign aid spending increases+continuity of 6% annual health transfers to provinces+1 cent of the gas tax going to cities+maintenance of UCCB cheques+2% Tax cut for small businesses kind of adds up to a LOT OF MONEY. 5-10 Billion dollars at least. This doesn't even include a host of small spending promises such as environment policies, youth policies etc that will come out in the future. Where the is the NDP going to get all that money and not raise taxes? Cutting income splitting and raising the corporate tax rate by a few percent (which is a bad enough idea as it is) will not raise more than 2 or 3 billion dollars in the end. Add to this the likely lower revenues from royalties, and lower income taxes due to slower growth, and there is going to be a bigger hole than many people are planning for. What, are the NDP going to cut 10 Billion dollars from current program spending? If there were 10 Billion dollars easily available, don't you think the conservatives would have found it already? I'm sorry NDP voters, but as it stands your plan doesn't add up, and Mulcair is underestimating your intelligence.

What exactly are you impressed with?

Wynne is nothing more than a leftist activist who has no idea how the real world works. She is destroying this province and doesn't even see it. If Trudeau gets elected, which he won't, Wynne will get to do the reverse of Martin, upload her massive deficit to the federal government. That will make it ugly for all of Canada.

Sounds like the guy was a major headache wherever he worked.

We have so much more material wealth these days but in the end most people are feeling less.

I was't selling an act, therefore there was nothing for you to buy. But now, you are wasting my time with you nonsense. I am an independent, undecided voter. You are hyper-partisan, and your type of hyper-partisanship discourages me.

You see, you didn't question me when I was a hyper partisan socialist. You have blinders on. I've removed mine.

Not at all. Some Libertarian principals appeal to me; but not all. I am a non-partisan independent.
