madmax Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 For those looking for Ignatieffs Speech today here it is House of Commons Mr. Speaker, I rise in this House today to announce formally that the official opposition has lost confidence in the government. This is a serious step and we owe an explanation both to this House and to the Canadian people of our grounds for doing so. Nous avons perdu confiance dans ce gouvernement et nous nous mettons debout pour protéger les gens qui ont été abandonnés par ce gouvernement. Je vais essayer de donner des raisons concrètes pour lesquelles nous allons retirer la confiance de ce gouvernement. First of all, the Conservatives have lost control of the public finances of our country. A year ago they were at the edge of deficit; by February, they were at a deficit of $32 billion; suddenly, four or five weeks later, it is at $50 billion; and at the end of the summer they announced the deficit was at $56 billion. .........

M.Dancer Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 I'm sorry. weren't the Liberals pushing for a cash infusion to relieve the recession? And now they are calling the Conservatives irresponsible? The Liberals in the back benches are probabbly praying the Giovernment stands... Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us

It was a very good speech and he said a lot of things that the NDP would normally agree with. Quote

And now they are calling the Conservatives irresponsible? Yes the LPC called for cash infusion. Yes the Conservatives are fiscally irresponsible and that was a fact prior to the 2008 Election. Few people paid attention then either.The Liberals in the back benches are probabbly praying the Giovernment stands... Quote

This is a serious step and we owe an explanation both to this House and to the Canadian people of our grounds for doing so.I was at a soy bean field in Burlington. The Conservatives wish us to believe that it is a car park. I am here to tell everyone it is still a soy bean field. There is worse than that. Is there really anything worse then that? In your best Charlton Heston voice. MY GOD!!! IT ISN'T A PARKING LOT!!! ITS PEOPLE OPPS, ITS A SOY BEAN FIELD!!! (From Soylent Green) Marlon Brando THE HORROR THE HORROR (APOCALYPSE NOW) TAKE PARADISE SOY BEAN FIELD PUT UP A PARKING LOT Joanie Mitchell.. Well, this is terrible news. There is a delay in a parking lot. Really, how did this screw up make it in the speech??? Edited October 1, 2009 by madmax Quote

Next you'll be telling us how Ignatieff is really an American... There's a difference in infusing cash and sitting on it while somehow running up a HUGE deficit. Let's not forget by the way that there was a surplus when they took over, IMO that should be tallied in to the total. I'm not in favour of an election for the sake of an election, but these guys really are screwing the pooch with our money. And they seem to have been lying to us the whole way through about how badly they are handling it. Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche
scribblet Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 The only reason Ignatieff wants power now is so he can take credit for a recovering economy. So when will they have a leadership convention - after Christmas ? Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province

So when will they have a leadership convention - after Christmas ? Did you say RECOVERING economy? Where is it? There's still over 1Million+ without jobs, the debt is growing everyday and businesses are leaving Canada for Mexico, India or China. The TSX is down 300 points today and its going to take 2-5 years to bring Canada back to were it was, if ever. Quote
