I can just imagine if the liberals were in charge at the time the stimulis would have been 3 times bigger and we would now be in a recession. Thank god for Harper.

How did stimulus spending have anything to do with the gov being or not being brought down, speaking of being on crack.

Because, and I'll give the opposition credit here, Harpers initial response to the Global Downturn was to maintain that he would keep the books balanced.

So then we got the dog and pony show of the 3 opposition parties wanting to form a coalition which clearly wasn't what the electorate had in mind when they voted in 2008. So Harper would have to change course, and we got the Canadian Economic Action Plan.

New leader Iggy was either satisfied with that plan or knew that the coalition was a loser from the get go.

Cutting corp taxes and reducing GST turned out to be quite "brilliant" move eh? Multi billion deficit here we go.

I don't hear you being so critical of the Wynne Liberals and their Very Real $12 billion deficit.

I probably would be if I knew more about it. There is a lot of politics going on, Hard to keep track of all the politics and I don't live in Ontario so it's not at the top of my list.

If you did live in Ontario, you'd have a better idea of what neo-Liberals are up to these days. Since Wynne and Trudeau campaign for each other, that's no exagerration. Ontario's deficit is greater than all the provinces AND the Federal government - combined! Do your homework and get back to us with your criticisms.

Um, what's no exagerration?

That wynne is campaigning for trudeau ,because trudeau likes a lot of ONT ideas. And when he says ONT deficit is larger then all provinces and the fed combined, he is not fooling. Just check it out sometime what they did to ONT.

Today, on CBC, they were talking about the increase of MP's in the next election and a party needs 170 seats to win...guess what...no party will have a majority and the way polls are now Harper has the PMO with the Liberals coming in second. Now, Harper will never try to work with any party, especially a Liberal party with a Trudeau as leader, so that leaves the Liberals and NDP to grown up and try and make things work for Canadians.

You don't know that.

CBC said that last election too. They do not report news on CBC, they attempt to create it.

The CBC is one of the most respected news organizations in the world. I would be lost without the CBC. I want solid,balanced journalism; not Faux Sun News.

Thankful to have become a free thinker.

CBC is a joke. By far the least credible news organization Canada. Leftwing propaganda, and little else.

I do not doubt that in the least. Your posts make more sense in that context.

I want solid balanced journalism too. That's why I do not watch CBC any more. It's garbage.

I'm curious as to what you view as the most credible news organization in Canada?

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find your way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

None of the Canadian national organizations are particularly good. Global News and National Post tend to do the least bad job most of the time.

Harper managed to make it work pretty well from February 2006 (I know the election was earlier but that was when he took the Privy Oath) to March 2011, with a few bumps in the road.

You forgot about the Toronto Star. Or is Toronto not in Canada?

A local paper is not a national news organization, but I concede your point anyway.... YES, the Star is marginally worse.

Oh OK. Others I have talked to have said, when I referred to either Toronto or Quebec, "I said 'Canada'" implying that those venues were not Canadian.
