Who's the source for this chart? A Liberal partisan location? I have looked @ the data. It's all the same drivel from you Harper haters. The only difference is that this chart and you conveniently forgot the Trudeau years and forgot to mention that we endured the greatest global economic collapse since the depression under the Harper years and managed it better than most G-8 nations. Before you assume any ignorance on my part, please provide ALL the data including the 1967-1983 data that Mulroney was left to deal with.

Yeah, yeah.. If it was the Libs in power doing the same thing you Libs would be silent. Spare us the Conservative waste speech with these ADs. If the Libs/NDP get in power they will perfect federal deficit to a science making this expense look like chump change..

Lol! Just like the Libs love anything that makes them and everyone else think like they do.. Hence the CBC

"CBC spending taxpayers $$s to silence Sun News Nework" is what the title of the OP should read. CBC is the purest example of wasting tax dollars before this and now they want anyone who calls them out to go away? Apparently they do at "everyone's" expense.. This should be the last straw to cut the umbilical cord Canada and let them compete on even ground...

Yes. A true perspective of evil. Thanks for confirming that.

This debate is getting very ridiculous. I have close friends that go to Tel-Aviv annually and have a very different perspective than you do. VERY different. You sound like a newscast from Al Jezeera since not even the most left news outlets anywhere else in the world claims the "so-called" misery you describe that Israel inflicts. To also state that Israelis are imperialistic conquerors and the aggressors causing all the problems in that region is pure delusion, not to mention very warped and dangerous. How long will it take for you and like minded friends of yours start believing Canada and the US are a big problem and are imperialistic conquering murderers just like Israel? Then again, you might already do.

Yeah, and we all saw what happened to the Jews the last time the world turned their backs on them. You're right, thank God they have allies like the US, UK and Canada otherwise they would have been, as that fanatic in Iran once said: "wiped off the face of the earth" a long time ago. The Israeli opponents like Lenny here would rather see them abandoned amongst their enemies making their views of Israel no different than Ahmadinejad's because the end result is the same.

Now THAT is actual Twilight Zone episode material for ya! You spoke of me and Bush/Cheney being ignorant and now you post this drivel? The Japanese attacked to try and take the US out as a threat to interfere with their imperialistic conquest to occupy Southeast Asia. Israel has no imperialistic conquest in the works to take over Syria or any other nation in the middle east. To think that they do is again, more delusion from your camp. Again, I ask you to tell us all your extensive personal first hand experience in Israel that makes you so much more informed than the rest of us ignorant Neocons of how things operate in the Middle East with Israel being the real problem.

So tell us Lenny, how long have you lived in Israel or Palistine so you can provide us with all of your first-hand horror stories of the evil Israelis and their quest to wipe out their surrounding enemies through offensive aggression? Yes you're right about Turkey... Well, at least a couple of democracies is a good start, then again perhaps you disagree..

Wow. The hatred of Israel from Lenny and Jones in here is so intense there is no reasoning with them. Tell me guys, do you or your family happen to hail from any of the surrounding nations that despise Israel? Or were you just indoctrinated by a left wing or fanatic professor who does hail from a surrounding nation who shares the same hatred as you do? Here's the reality: If every nation in the middle east were to throw their weapons into the sea there would be peace in the middle east. If only Israel did, there would be genocide. The fact that you can't grasp that simple statement proves you both are a complete and utter lost cause to debate this topic with.

No, just the continuous demonization of Isreal by your type and little if any criticism of the true problems in the middle east that completely surround the only democracy in that region is what is ridiculous. Somehow the twilight zone seems far more rational than whatever zone you anti-Israel liberals live.

Yeah and the Nazis felt the world would be a better place without a single Jew left alive as a perspective on Jews. Perspective at some point has some logical and moral limits.. The only ones who sees acts of terror as freedom fighting are terrorists themselves or supporters of terrorists. At least that is a perspective I think is shared in most of the civilized world and rational thinking people.

Unbelievable. You're clearly anti-Jew who offers more credence to regimes like Iran, Syria and terror organizations Hamas and Hezbollah. Its as simple as that. What scares me is more and more liberals like you are spewing this drivel...

Anyone calling a terrorist who intentionally targets innocent civilians for their religious or vengeful reasons a freedom fighter is either brainwashed or ignorant. By the way, The problem is that the goat herder would rather blame the West rather than their leaders who harbour the fanatics that are the root cause of the problem in the first place. It's like being a German in WW2 and blaming the Allies for all their problems during and post war instead of pointing the finger at the lunatic who instigated it. Fortunately the Germans are civilized enough to understand the root cause and move on. Btw, if everyone did follow the "moral" path, there would be peace on Earth now wouldn't there? Unfortunately human beings don't seem to get it hence history always repeats itself.

Your arguments are getting weaker and weaker on this.

Comparing the very "rare" Christian cult insanity to the very common Jihad killing of innocents is as ridiculous as it gets. Is that the best you can do to compare Jihad with Christian terrorists? Again you confirm just how out to lunch you lefties are about terrorism.

Same thing. Fanaticism. I don't however recall Christian terror groups being a problem globally do you?

Wwwt my Liberal friend you are delusional. Jihad is the root cause of Muslim terrorism. Period. You and the rest of the Libs who blame the "evil west" for their acts just shows us how out to lunch the left really is.

So you are telling me that Socialist/Communist economics had nothing to do with these governments' collapse right? Who's really twisting reality here? They never recovered from WWII in great thanks to the economics that comes with that form of government. You're also comparing GDP I assume here. By that standard India is a better place to live for the average Joe in Canada yet you don't see any of us immigrating there do you? I prefer to look @ standard of living. We still have one of the highest average standards of living in the world. Even higher than most of the countries you mention. Based on GDP, just how to you explain the likes of what happened to Spain who ranks just below us by your GDP standard? Yes, there has to be a good balance of social programs and capitalism. My point is that the left these days would rather see that balance shift completely away from capitalism and into the socialist pool in the long run and that is dangerous and can lead to what we should have learned from the past.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone in here remember how Socialism worked out for the "average Joe" in the now defunct Soviet block nations in Eastern Europe? Just ask an immigrant who came over to Canada for a better life after the wall fell just how much he/she liked it. The left camp in here who want more and more distribution of wealth like this video suggests are living in ignorance just as CPCFTW stated. Exactly how much should our government take from the rich for the "so-called" benefit of the "greater good"? What % is enough? If you take and take, you eventually leave no reason for free enterprise to even exist anymore and eventually you get Eastern Europe all over again before you know it. Funny how some lefties talk about the rich needing to contribute much more to the community, yet the mere whisper of the words "work for welfare" as a way many of those who are the recipients of this distribution of wealth can equally contribute back into their community causes an outrage from the left. God forbid if contributing to a community worked both ways... I remember in ON in the 90's when they tried to push for the work for welfare gig. It didn't take long for them to back down because it was considered a human rights violation to make someone work for what others worked for to provide for them. Yet it seems that taking more from the rich without their permission is completely acceptable. Double standard? Humm... Over the the past couple years we saw what has happened to countries with huge entitlement programs and social programs in Spain, Greece and now Cyprus and there's people who want more of that here? Obviously people who have this mentality don't seem to care if it happens to us in North America. I for one do care so yes, this video is "drivel".

Root cause? One simple term describes it best: Jihad. As for JT, his response is the usual we can all expect from him: Useless and stupid. This guy really needs a media filter for what the CBC doesn't succeed @ filtering.

Embarrassment? Anyone who doesn't tout the progressive banner internationally is an embarrassment to the lefties! Got to love the the OP. Hudson posts and then flies away back to his left wing camp. We all saw what happened to the Jews the last time no one stood in their corner... Kudos to Baird and this government for actually having the guts to actually take a stance and support a loyal ally.

Union thugs and their nest eggs of member dues need to stay heck out of politics. Period.

C'mon Argus really? 5 years into his administration and you still blame Bush?? Obama's economic policies and social programs, bad green investment decisions etc..etc.. have ZERO to do with their debt ultimately climbing to an estimated 20 trillion when he finishes his 2nd term? Just how many years or what will it take for you to hold this man accountable for anything? Not that I agree w/Republican policies of no tax hikes at all but he IS the President and is ultimately responsible for it's demise for not being the bigger man to at least compromise and work across the isle. None of which Obama has even come close to Clinton (a real leader) was able to do. Always deflecting blame from Obama to someone else has to end sometime doesn't it?

What a load of left-wing propaganda. Do you actually watch Fox News?? My experience about those who diss it the most either haven't watched it at all or watch it very little and go by what their favorite news source on the left, or their left-wing friends tell them about Fox News. Anyone who chooses NEVER to watch Fox News are the ones the most uninformed. There's a reason Fox News is the most popular cable news network, it's the only network that is not blatantly in the tank with Obama and his progressive cronies. Just the way the President likes it. I get my US news from CNN and Fox combined as well as their online sources. To disregard Fox News as a viable source of news is just plain left-wing BS.
