dre Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 Where have you been, Mr. Ashley? Were you sleeping when Harper first took power and the recession hit? He and his finance minister made the mistake of saying things weren't that bad and we should stay the course. The Opposition immediately pounced on them, saying that they were just cruel and indifferent to the suffering of Canadians entering a recession. They absolutely DEMANDED that the government spend huge sums of money to 'stimulate' the economy! What's more, they threatened to bring down Harper's minority if he didn't do what they wanted. So, the money was spent and the deficit went up. Immediately, the Opposition started railing at Harper for spending so much money and running up the deficit! It was all there if you cared to look. As I said before, were you sleeping? Thats wishfull thinking. Harper spent because he wanted to... if the opposition parties forced an election the conservatives wouldnt have been the ones who lost seats as a result. Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger
