Liberals are worse than the Conservatives

But in this analogy, Ward is not Eddie's father. You know, the "Crown" slept around a lot back then......

There are a couple of crazy bandits that drink in the club across the street - and they love to call me dad - they act out the part - they bitch about how I was not there for them - how I never set up a trust fund - meanwhile they drink shots all day - and sell coke ......ka cola......What's distressing is that some strangers drop by and actually think that I am their father ....well - who knows - anything is possible - I did entertain myself a lot back in the 70s - I might be everbody's dad in the hood - and maybe even yours - So son - did you get those support payments I sent your mother?

Now - I suspect that Ward was Haskels dad....and it was the Beaver that was Canada's illigitmate son - Wally's mum will never admit to that one night - on the wrong side of Niagra Falls - Frankly we are highly connected to you guys - it goes back over 50 years - Joe Kennedy and the Brofmans were buddies with our hoods - and the sons of those hoods are still in power up here - quiet power - and very polite power - BUT - they do say one thing if you are going to intrude on American turf ----"The Americans are not going to like that" - we are afraid of you - cos' big brothers can punch you out. But I do admit that my little brother took advantage of me when I was drunk - I still have the scar...took for ever to sew the ear back on.. :lol:

And that is how it should be....."little brothers" should grow up and cast off such familial limitations. I left my "big brother" in the dust long ago.....now he borrows money from me.

Yes and even my youngest son is casting me incrimentally out of his realm - He actually wants to have his own life - make his own mistakes - and make his own fortune - BUT -pops will be at the door for a handout in the future _ I sacaficed 20 years of my life - and changed his damned diapers _ I expect the favour to be returned - as for my big brother - He came into a million bucks and took me out for bad chinese food - and handed me 55 dollars and 36 cents - I guess big brothers do not have to pay tribute to little brothers - even thought that little brother kept the bullies off his back - the big oalf would cry and they would beat him - I was smaller - but I was fast - once I got over the fear and figured out that tyrants are cowards....see you later Bushy - If all Americans were like you it would be a better world - consider running for office sometime....I will write the speaches --------------wait - what do you think of this -----------------------"We want change we can believe in - yes we do and Yes WE can!' Waddaya think? Worked once - it will work twice.

No, look at the name again and lead the line underneath it. I'm a liberal...not a communist. There's a difference.

Of course you are not a commie...just a left-wing socialist Liberal fascist.

It was a very loose comparison that I made in the first place, hence: "If they are anything like their Ontario Liberal cousins we would be much worse off."

True although my view was that the bigger assumption involved the comparison between Ontario's economy and Canada's economy.

The federal Liberals are pushing for money to flow faster, and they aren't known as 'tax and spend liberals' for nothing.
I am quite certain we would be worse off if the liberals were in charge - maybe not worse off in loss of jobs, but worse off deficit wise very likely. I'm just getting tired of liberals and ndp'ers jumping on the conservative's back over the size of the deficit, calling for Flaherty's resignation and such, meanwhile the deficit would be greater if either of them were in charge.

In terms of the money flowing faster argument that wouldn't affect the deficit I don't think. Weren't the Liberals saying that the money already earmarked for spending needs to get to the municipalities sooner? That money should already be included in the current deficit numbers. I can't say things would be better or worse off with any party in power. There're too many factors.

This bullshit partisan shit is getting redundant and hypocritical - from all sides. I'm becoming more and more aware that none of these politicians are worth a fraction of what they are paid, in fact, they should all be shot and pissed on. And the cheerleaders on this site don't help either.

I'd agree that the partisan people on this forum are pretty over the top and that some are redundant and hypocritical on all sides. That's the internet for you.

You can't say that THESE Libs are worse than the seating Conservatives because this is the first time out for THESE Conservatives and the Libs party seating are made up of mostly NEW members so until these new Libs get their chance to govern, theres no contest! Voters can though, say their view on how the Conservatives are doing and I don't think they are doing very well, mostly of their inexperience as MP's. Flaherty, on the other hand, is very experienced and makes a lousy finance minister!

I cannot believe this is not a cut and paste from a conspiracy theorist web site

Then get on your google bike and prove it asshole, or shut up!

It doesn't take rocket science to notice that the promises of free trade creating prosperity for all, have been a fraud. And it doesn't escape notice of anyone who's kept track of election cycles over the last 30 years that powerful interest groups get their policies enacted regardless of the political party in power; and once they get approved, they don't get removed, regardless of the promises of the opposition while out of office.

In all actuality there might a few positives to let the pendulum swing back a bit from where we are today

The swinging pendulum only makes cosmetic changes!

I posted this back in 2007:

It is my belief, Mulroney a Quebec PM, primarily committed Canada to NAFTA for the benefit of Quebec:
"Thanks to the World Trade Organization and the North American Free Trade Agreement, there has been an increase of Québec's ability to compete on the international market. Further to these agreements, its trade relations with other countries have been given a boost. Consequently, Québec's imports have increased significantly. These international exchanges foster the strength of Québec's economy, particularly in matters of employment

Québec exports its goods and services around the world : nearly two-thirds of its goods and services are exported outside Canada. In 2003, international exports totalled $133,640 billion Canadian, or 35 % of its GDP. Québec's international exports for year 2003 are broken down as follows :

United States

83.2 %

Europe

9.6 %

Asia and Oceania

4.4 %

Latin America

1.5 %

Africa and the Middle East

1.3 % "

Look at Alberta. How are they doing?

Not bad.

Money in the bank.

No Debt

A future

A hardworking population that feels little sense of entitlement

Thanks for asking

Smallc · June 8, 2009

I mean right now. How is Alberta managing its money now? I also find the continuing attitude of being better than the rest of the country somewhat disturbing.

The Pc's are doing better then the provincal liberals ever could, with that being said, small c conservatives would do far superior to the PCs.

Considering its been conservatives of some stripe that have been in government here for the last oh sixty years, we can say we know that.

Smallc · June 9, 2009

No, we don't know that, since the Liberals aren't in power.

yes we can since we can see what socialist governments have done in our neighboring provinces.

As we note how the conservatives screwed up the rest.

Yes, the terrible provinces of Saskatchewan (whose economy is almost as big as yours...thank God for their NP government), BC, who did have some bad and some good from their NDP government....and Manitoba...we haven't even felt the recession....and Winnipeg is growing so fast that we can barely keep up.

You're right...the NDP is always bad.

Oh, it wasn't only Bob Rae. Now our former Conservative premier...that was a piece of work.

As a Stephen Harper supporter, you of all people should be simpathetic to Rae now.

Sympathetic - literally means to "suffer together" - no way am I going to suffer with any idiot that is miserable and needs company in that foolish misery. Remember one thing also - it is the liberals that are right wing facists - and the conservatives have all aged and died.

Federal, Provincial, it doesn't matter, the Fiberals are nothing but crooks who insist on lining their own pockets irregardless of how many times they've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

Illustrates their arrogance perfectly.
