The Liberals had no intention of calling an election over the issue of EI. That was apparent in June, Supported by Ignatieff in August and will be a completed action today as it appears all parties will support the minor funding increase of a singular EI program. I have no idea how the Liberals could go through an entire summer and have no knowledge of this programs existence. Regardless, the ROC unemployed who qualify can at least benefit from the change, and any party voting against it could look like jerks or asses unless there was some poison pill in the bill.

500 people tossed out of work this week in 3 different fields, Pharmacuetical, Media and Manufacturing.Economic improvement is subjective.

http://www.thestar.com/news/ontario/article/697363 The Liberals had a cakewalk. Decent Candidate and a public not in the mood for change.

Of course we can say CHINA. China has a Communist government. IIRC Lenin or Trotsky, believed that the advantages of Communism would attract capital investment from Capitalist foreign nations. Communism could provide a better trained workforce at fraction of the price. However, the battle became one of Democracy vs Totalatarianism, and fear that the communist system would prevails which also scared the hell out of Capitalists. Today, investing Capital into the Communist China is more an advantage then investing in "Democratic" non communist Russia. Vietnam has turned out to be a successful communist nation. Vietnam Defeated, France, the USA, China, and Freed Cambodia from Pol Pot. It went on to become a peaceful society and attracts significant investment from the USA. The blood of many Americans is forgotten for profit, and the failure of the war, and amends makes it all possible for former vets to return to Vietnam. Gotta say, bad as Cuba Is, it's far superior to Haiti and the Dominican Republic and many other Carribean Nations. And that's inspite of an embargo approaching 50 years. The country is dirt poor, yet survives better then countries with a Capitalist Havens. Wait until that Blockade ends, the Cubas want to maintain their independance and alot of their systems, and the extra money that will flow in will pay for it. Cuba will become a Giant south of Florida, soon as these Castros die. But there health is so good, long life must be a curse

If I have this right. The Liberals are supporting the EI bill through parliment? Thus, they have not yet, once voted against a government confidence motion.

Each week in my area, the layoffs continue. While some Auto has picked up, its likely to be short term, and then we are facing another slide downward in the economy. The layoffs are happening in non conventional, non industrial sectors and they aren't small. In a few months will see the effects of this.Panick is starting to hit alot of municipalities that are watching their welfare rates soar, as EI isn't an option for many unemployed.

Does that surprise you? Nor were the LPC really trying to go anywhere with EI reform. Few trust the party that created the EI system we have today. Diane Finley doesn't work. Didn't you know that. She is the priviledged Elite. Much like Hubby, she is around for the perks. Life is good when you do so little and receive so much. If the LPC had done any homework, they would have known about the Siti and EEITI programs that are to be expanded across the country. Because they didn't do their homework, and it took me all of 30 seconds Google it in June tells me this is merely posturing from incompetent people. $4 Billion dollars is the amount the CPC stole from the EI fund in a single year.

I don't know if the people of Ontario know how to send a message anymore. MY prediction is a Liberal Victory. My hope is anyone but Hoskins. Not that he isn't a decent candidate, I just have a problem with someone who uses the food bank to defend a tax grab on the poor. Results await.... M.Dancer and M Hardner better make it to the polls to cancel each others vote out ..... LOL

I'm shocked

He enjoyed the priviledge of being an MP, but never took the job seriously. He needed a nursemaid around to handle his affairs. I said he was a weak MP and needed to go, and it took awhile, but finally, thankfully happened.And those "mistakes" would demonstrate his true character. So, I'm interested in seeing if Helena shares his passion for Drugs. Any bets on how she would do in a drug test? Conservatives are tough on Crime. Soon, DR Greenthumb will appear in the forum. He'll probably pull out all the hypocrisy of the CPC MP and his criminal actions.

No Conservatives are tough on crime. Seriously, they are TOUGH. Tough on crime I tell you. Its jail. If it was some back alley user, they'd make certain that criminal was locked up good. Tough.

No he wanted a smoking jacket and needed a bib.

Conservatives are tough on Drug Users.

You must have a good lawyer, they haven't evicted you yet. Yes, all this will be passed on with the extra tax. That is the whole point of the HST. That is correct.

Flaherty Clams Upon on HST FLIP FLOP FLIP OVER... don't blame me say Flaherty. http://www.thestar.com/news/ontario/article/696388 Proving death and taxes is inevitable

I'm sure the video will be well received in a Jail cell with Karl, and Conrad cheering on Mulroney and Harper. Birds of a feather..

Should make riverman happy. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/090915/...x_harmonization me not so much..

that is typical in a Province that is still driven by populism. Alberta rides a pony for decades, then its a wholesale housecleaning.

What caused this By Election? What's the message in the selection? http://www.edmontonsun.com/news/alberta/20...5/10908001.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary-Glenmore

You never fail to surprise me Goat Boy.They funny thing about your idea of the BQ running candidates across Canada is that I don't know if we'd be voting BQ, to get rid of Quebec asap, don't let the door hit you on the way," or if we Voted BQ, all of Canada would have to separate if they got a Majority.

IS that the 55% who vote?

ALL radical changes to banking structure are to be refered to Jerry Fortin.

OPPS!!! Yup

Yeah, shes hot... Helena too...
