Mr.Canada Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Canada needs to drastically cut spending and get the budget under control. I want to see a real conservative budget once they win a majority. I understand the willingness to work with other parties but at what cost? PM Harper is the Tories best asset and also its biggest liability at the same time. The left hates him because he's so strong and cannot be bullied easily. However he can have a certain dryness to him, he's not the most charismatic leader we've ever had.

Jerry J. Fortin Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 I will suggest that Harper is the(a) bully. For an economist, he has a very different approach. unless you consider his quest for power. Then it all makes sense. Quote

Canadians should know what they are going to get if God fails man. Edited February 28, 2011 by William Ashley Quote I was here.

Canadians should know what they are going to get if God fails man. We're going to the voting booth this Spring. They'll be a poison pill in the budget don't worry. They're planning it as we speak. We simply cannot afford to keep raising our spending forever. A conservative government should know this. I expect more fiscal restraint in the future.

xul Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 he's not the most charismatic leader we've ever had. Like Mao of China and Fidel Castro of Cuba, Harper has the charisma of making simple-minded people to believe that he will be some sort of lifesaver of them though he isn't...I bet the conservative "economist" boss has the least intention to be it.

punked Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Hate to say it but if the Economy keeps growing the way it is growing and keeps beating forecasts by .5-1% the Cons might actually balance the budget with out the cuts in a few years. Quote

Just see who are the lifesavers behind Harper's economic success... The first is Bush, who went into Iraq but made the war "unwinnable" which started the unrest in the oil-rich region and raised the oil price to the highest point in history; Then the second one is Chinese dictator, who after Bush messed up American economy had pulled the oil price back to its highest point just in one year, by using cheap labour force to stimulate Chinese economy effectively of course Now Gaddafi come out, who has been pushing oil price to the new height by threating to destory all Libyan oil facilities just for keeping him to linger in power.... As another important oil exporter in the world, how would Canada's economy not be successful? Edited March 1, 2011 by xul Quote

As another important oil exporter in the world, how would Canada's economy not be successful? Libya should nationalize all the oil facilities due to the 150 Billion in stolden Libyan assets - such as the 30 billion just stolden by the US. The whole crisis seems like it is being engineered - and when you have British SAS operating in a country there is always the question of foreign interferance.. The fact that a military intervention is very close to being realized outside of a UNSC resolution - that being the UK and US acting bilaterially to assist the rebels/revolutionaries already stating they were going to remove the Libyan airforce by imposing a no fly zone. No doubt this is a US initiative over the air conflicts between Libya and the US from I think it was the 80's. "The LAF lost a total of four aircraft to United States Navy F-14 Tomcats in two incidents over the Gulf of Sidra, in 1981 and 1989." (black ops have seemingly already been carried out - such as SAS operations there is no telling what if any US black ops are ongoing in the area) Gaddafi himself hints at foreign invasion when he was talking about drugged nescafe w/ hallucinogens. "“This is the largest blocking under any sanctions program ever,” said David Cohen, acting undersecretary of Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence, during a conference call. “These blocking actions … are depriving Col. Gadhafi access to these assets and safeguarding them for the Libyan people.”" It's also funny how this fund was stated at 150 billion earlier today and now reports are only reporting it as 100 billion - mass embezzlement me thinks. How to explain a missing 50 billion that just vanished from the tabs? Edited March 1, 2011 by William Ashley Quote I was here.
platoarist0tle Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Speaking of spending, have you seen these types of videos before? Local politicians talking about construction projects in their ridings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe29Jgw5s04 Edited March 1, 2011 by platoarist0tle Quote
