The Man to Beat!

They are many times better than what they replaced. They helped us to reduce debt and make needed purchases. Those Liberal budgets also gave us the largest tax cut in Canadian history.

But I would like to know, aside from Sponsorgate, what did the Liberals do to hurt this country?

Hurt it? If you mean almost destroy it? you do remember the 1995 referendum in Quebec? Or were you old enough at the time?

You do know that Western Canada already feels isolated from Ontario? Hello, NEP?

Ontario's health care went under when Bob Rae (now a Liberal) ran the biggest deficit in the province's history (9 billion). Compounding the provincial debt load was the fact that this was pretty much the exact period of time through which the Federal Liberal's drastically reduced transfer payments to the provinces. Basically the PC conservatives under Harris went from a 9 billion deficit to a balanced budget in just a few years all while having less revenue. Ontario's Health Care problems are a direct result of Chretien Liberal cuts.

Oh do you mean those same people that live in North Toronto/Markham and run malls based on pirated media and under the counter cash transactions? Are we talking about the refugees being allowed into the country who end up mooching welfare? I'm all about immigration and Harper is going in the right direction with it. Bring in qualified and productive immigrants and let the rest rot on the wait list. We have a back log of millions so we can afford to be choosey.

There is a reason Liberal support is so strong in the 416 and 905. It's because they're largely ethnic communities and the Liberals have pandered to these newcomers and their communities for votes, regardless of their impact on Canada.

This is one funny thing about the Ontario prov. gov't. Only in Ontario can a company who's sold out of product, shut down a factory. That company being John Deere, they're sold out of machinery and can't make it fast enough yet they shut down an Ontario factory. That tells me Ontario has an ass backwards business policy that is in major need of retooling.
