I don't know about that...it was after all a supposedly left wing party that embraced fiscal conservatism and finally brought this country's finances back into balance and started paying off the national debt.

Harper won't touch this debate, unless he gets a majority...then the many Trosts of the CPC will push hard to have abortion back in the criminal code.

You're confusing Iggy with Stockwell Day and other prominent Conservatives.

With Harper representing the right the words reasonable and balance are no longer part of the political lexicon.

Sorry man, you lost me. So you want to discuss Robinson and Chretien's son instead of Harper? Can't say I blame you but this is a politics foruum.

Tax and spending beats borrowing and spending. Spending money that isn't there, to me it reeks of dishonety. Besides, with the after tax profits the banks and oil companies are recording....I don't think they need the Billions Harper wants us to give them.

Harper is right up there with all those guys, gotta be a punch in the gut to people who believed him about being open and honest and all that other BS.

Love the honesty and intgrety of Harper's Tories, man....can't believe Stevie had that guy Carson as his top advisor. Canada's prime minister hiring a guy to advise him who was disbarred for forging cheques and stealing $23,900 from a corporation and two individual clients he represented....great resume. Who's he gonna hire next? Cifford Olson? What kind of judgement is that???? All the broken promises and patronage and scandals on top of it...problem is, where does a boot licking conservative turn??? Maybe the Christian Heritage party if they're running in your riding. I feel your pain.

With Harper being such a control freak, it makes you wonder about his judgement in having this guy as a top advisor given his extremely coloured history...

My view, a classy response to all the ads attacking the Liberal leader's "Canadianism"...Lot of Conservative bloggers ranting about it now, basically saying "Iggy's dad isn't that hot". Go to youtube for the video here: Michael Ignatieff: My Family

Remember in the leadership race between Iggy Rae and Dion that Mike and Bob were the heavy favourites. Anyone who's ever been to the track will tell you, when the odds are split between the favourites, bet on the long shot.

So brainy people vote for lower taxes, increased spending and massive deficits??? It that's what Conservative voters consder intellignce, then you can have it. Actually, when you look at the demographics that go along with the polls, you'll find Conservative voters have the lowest levels of education....but don't worry, I'm sure your friend thinks you're smart.

I'm leaving my options open...won't be voting for Harper's Regime, that's a given....but i could go Lib/NDP or Green.

If its a choice of billions for prisons for guys committing crimes that aren't being reported, or an arena for Quebec....I'll take the arena.

Read it HERE Is there anything the Harper Regime doesn't keep secret from the people?

If Harper and Ignatieff were aboard a crashing airplane...who would be saved? Canada!!!

Tories love dishing it out, let's see if they can take it Globe & Mail

What's the deal with Christianity and all the criminal nut bars that faith spawns?

I'm in the majority demographic...whoopee.

This whole marquee events funding is nothing but a boondoggle.

I think the answer is obvious...the Cons are concerned about placating their Religious Right base of support, without it they're toast. Its not like they're gonna score big with the Gay French constituency anyway.

Zionists used terrorism to win state hood for Israel, taking it from the Palestinians. Now the Palestinians are using terrorism to try and get it back. The British set the tone by caving to terrorists in the first place.

Its a tax on carbon emissions, that the markets will love because it gives them another piece of paper to trade...That's a good thing given that financial derivatives (sp?) are the only things being manufactured in North America these days.

Harper wants to bring in cap and trade as well...europe is doing it and Obama is bringing it to the states. Right or wrong its hard to swim against that strong a current.

Ignatieff supported the leadership of Stephane Dion, that's the way politics works. But once he took over the leadership he repudiated the green shift and backed away from teh coalition. There are conservatives MPs who support Stephen Harper...but there are specific policies with which they disagree. When leadership changes, so does party direction.
