SF/PF Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 You mean for example how Harper made a coalition/agreement, whatever, with the Bloc to get the last estimates passed in the current House. So what's all this hullabaloo about? It all seems very bizarre. Well, Harper obviously can't run on ethics and accountability. Its tough to sell anyone on his accomplishments, as he really has none. The economy is the only thing Harper has going for him, and thats the result of regulations put in place and maintained by those who came before him. Regulations that Harper railed against during his time with the NCC. So "Co-a-lition!!" is about all he has.

WWWTT Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Posted March 25, 2011 I also recall which party three times put the BC economy into the toilet, one time put the Ontario economy into the toilet, and numerous times put the Manitoba economy into the toilet. "Whom" you ask? Why, the NDP is who. BTW, public healthcare is the ONLY real thing the CCF/NDP have created in all their years of existance. Oh...wait...easy welfare for lazy jerks is another. Ya I thought it was Brian Mullroney whom had single hanidly did all this.Where is he now?Probably waiting for another inquirey to pull him out of no-where. Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

WWWTT Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Posted March 25, 2011 Translation: You made your narrative of the Coalition having a Peewee Herman moment and announcing "We meant to do that!" up. What is it exactly that I'm cherry picking? And what partisan behavior? You haven't been around here long enough to label people like that. You ask the regulars around here, I'm no partisan. I have no affiliation, no favorite party, no intention of ever putting on any party t-shirts. That's right. Get cornered saying absurd and patently ludicrous things, so run away. What a lot of words, when all you had to say is "Yeah, you caught me talking crap." How are the repairs coming on the "irony meter" buddy?

Scotty Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 So its ok for Harper to deceive Canadians but it isn't ok for Ignatieff to do so. Give us a break. You can suggest Harper deceived people all you like it's not going to change the fact that Ignateieff needs to come clean about this coalition business and pronto. None of the commentators on tonight's news cared a damn about the contempt of parliament thing. All they were talking about was Ignatieff's floundering attempt at dodging answers about the coalition. Heck, the reporter who was arguing with him and trying to pin him down was from the Toronto Star, and you just don't get a more liberal-friendly media source than that. If the STAR starts making Ignatieff look like an idiot, imagine what the rest of the press will do!

Despite all the piddling little pseudo-scandals the opposition has tried to make a fuss of, none have resonated with the populace at large. Harper is still considered a very honest prime minister leading a very honest government. Sure they've played games around accountability issues, but nobody thinks they're raiding the cash box like the Liberals did.

Scotty Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Because the Tories have been such skinflints over the last two years. I'm not sure the Canadian people really want skinflints, not if it costs them all the programs they support. And it isn't like Ignatieff has made much realistic noise about saving money himself.

Scotty Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Harry I wouldn't pay any attention to Scotty.He is set in his ways and will vote conservative because that is all he knows.You can almost say he will take Harper to the grave.Sad really but predictable. WWWTT You actually haven't been around long enough to know anything about my politics or preferences, you know. If it seems that I'm heavily supporting Harper, you might take this as an indication, not of my awe of Harper, but of what a poor, poor choice Ignatieff has made himself.

Scotty Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 and who do you think is going to pay for those 30 billion dollars military toys... our generous corporate benefactors?.... The Liberals are not talking about NOT buying new jets. All they're saying is they want a couple of expensive years of red tape, bureaucracy and studies first. As for corporate tax cuts, Ignatieff has been a very strong proponent of them for years. His opposition now smells very much like an opportunistic effort at poaching NDP votes. And people don't care what prisons cost, so long as the criminals are kept away from them.

Harper has single-handedly managed to make the entire country look idiotic. Maybe because he didn't propose a formal coalition, with cabinet seats exchanged and all. And maybe because the times were different. And maybe because people aren't worried about Harper having the BQ in his cabinet or at his right hand now. They ARE worried about the idea of a weak liberal leader being the sock puppet of Gilles Duceppe and Jack Layton.

If the Liberals can find a way to frame those scandals into soundbytes during the campaign, they certainly will begin to resonate. As they should. Harper is still considered a very honest prime minister leading a very honest government. By the uninformed and partisan, sure. To anyone that has followed the scene on parliament hill over the last few years, such a conclusion is impossible to reasonably reach.
