Realist

Ignatieff supported the budget out of political necessity. Where his actual policy would fall if he was scrape out a minority win is unclear.

I voted. I caution you against assuming that means I give a damn.

Is that all the 'Buy American' policy entails? An active effort by government to procure goods for their market?

Bad news all around. On that topic though, how has the Buy American Policy constrained our goods to the States? I'm afraid that if the States fires first, we have little choice but to seek fair trade elsewhere.

Are you talking to yourself, or haven't quite figured out the quote function? Come to think of it, your point makes so little sense when put together with my post that I would have ignored it as well. Ontario has, until recently, always payed out, and we will again be paying out once our economy recovers. We did it, and will do it, without an economy based on a necessary resource. Alberta has absolutely nothing to complain about economically. N-o-t-h-i-n-g. Politically, that's another matter and another story. But your horse is in parliament now and he seems to have sold you out.

A few unintellectual elite may drink his kool aid, but thankfully, polls show a majority of Quebecois have more sense than him.

Please. Ontario has been paying these transfers out for ages. We've been doing it without an economy based on a necessary resource to boot. Direct representation of every tax dollar collected will never be a reality, nor is it even an ideal to aspire to.

Yeah, again, going from A to C. An Ignatieff victory is far from certain.

heh, going from A to C there. Ignatieff has an election to win first.

I imagine some lean 'left' and others lean 'right, with a healthy majority in the 'center.' Wishy washy, inferred attacks on the entire spectrum left of yourself are boring.

It would be interesting to know how this "expert" leans politically.

It must gall you that Harper has altered his politics to cater to Ontario and Quebec.

By his own admission, his take is utterly incomplete without access to Obama himself. Useless. What's the point of this personal attack? About as much value as the delirious euphoria Democrats are experiencing over his victory.
