Shady Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Employment edges up in March: StatsCan The unemployment rate will rise slightly as the economy improves and more people enter the labour pool again. Quote
Shady Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Like your Obama infatuation? Yes, I don't care for politicians that stand in the way of stronger job growth. (ie Keystone) Quote
Tilter Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 The NDP has a better record on balancing budgets and creating surpluses than the Conservatives do. Thanks for the glimpse into the fantasy world that you live in though. Yeah --- in prosperous times Rae, in Ontario really did that job well--- his deficit was top be bigger than the Fed is now.

Smallc Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Yeah --- in prosperous times Rae, in Ontario really did that job well--- his deficit was top be bigger than the Fed is now. When was Rae the premier during prosperous times for Ontario? Quote
PIK Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Job losses can't be blame all on harper, harper is not running ONT. Daltons green energy killed 300,000 jobS, good paying jobs. But nobody wants to do business in ONT. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

Vendetta Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I heard most of the private sector jobs were in moving companies, helping clean up and move all the offices and retailers that are going out of business, and to move stuff from people's homes into storage facilities after the banks forclosed on their mortgages.

punked Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Great news for Canada. Half of the job growth came from Quebec right? So what has Haprer done to stimulate this Amazing Job growth in Quebec? Nothing oh ok good. Quote
Vendetta Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Where'd you hear that from? Just havin some fun. I didn't actually hear that, lol Quote
Smallc Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Great news for Canada. Half of the job growth came from Quebec right? So what has Haprer done to stimulate this Amazing Job growth in Quebec? Nothing oh ok good. What? I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying that what the federal government does has no impact on Quebec? Quote
punked Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 What? I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying that what the federal government does has no impact on Quebec? What have then done again? They make a mild winter so construction season could start earlier? Is that what the did? Quote
Smallc Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) What have then done again? They make a mild winter so construction season could start earlier? Is that what the did? Since most of the jobs weren't in construction, I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, either. The government (and indeed governments across the country and the spectrum) has lowered corporate taxes. Maybe we're starting to see the benefits of that? Maybe we're seeing the benefits of less red tape? Maybe we're seeing the benefits of Canada's overall better managed fiscal and monetary system (which has very little if anything to do with this particular government)?

huh Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 If the federal government is responsible for governing the entire federation and Harper wants to take credit for job creation, then he needs to answer for jobs in the entire nation. Half the provinces have seen job losses. Even more provinces saw insignicant increases. So, it's clear that he's not in Ottawa to govern for Canada. He's only there to look after Alberta. Yes we know, the oil sands are bad and there very existence goes against everything you believe in, your concern for Ontario jobs is heart warming... Quote
mentalfloss Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Quebec where most the jobs were gained has the HIGHEST taxes in the country. Try again. Considering unemployment went down in Quebec by 6% since last year and is up by 6% in Alberta, that effectively kills the corporate taxes argument. Edited April 5, 2012 by mentalfloss Quote

Wont stop SmallC who gets a big corporate tax cut from banging the Harper Drum. Again what policies stimulated this job growth? Oh yah Commodities prices went up so more people to take stuff out the ground. Good job Harper. Quote
Topaz Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Did you read the report? Most of these jobs are FULLTIME!!!! Many in Ontario. From what I've heard Oilsand employment ramps up in the Fall. Yeah, where Toronto? London and south are very high in unemployment, so until those regions gets most of their jobs back, Ontario is still in bad shape. Quote
Smallc Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Quebec where most the jobs were gained has the HIGHEST taxes in the country. Try again. I was under the mistaken impression that federal taxes were federal taxes in every province (leaving out the Quebec abatement). Also, I don't believe Quebec's corporate taxes are out of line with the other 3 major provinces. Wont stop SmallC who gets a big corporate tax cut from banging the Harper Drum. Again what policies stimulated this job growth? Oh yah Commodities prices went up so more people to take stuff out the ground. Good job Harper. I don't pay corporate taxe because I have a partnership, and not a corporation. Quote
cybercoma Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Signed, The Bob Rae Ontario NDP government It's pretty simple, Boges. You named 1 provincial government, as if this proves anything. Shall we name all of the deficits run by Conservative governments? The complete picture is in the Fiscal Reference Tables put out by the Department of Finance. Feel free to go through them and crunch the numbers yourself. http://www.fin.gc.ca/pub/frt-trf/index-eng.asp As a percentage of years in office, NDP governments had a surplus 50.94% of the time. Compare that to Liberal governments at 29.67% and Conservative governments at 50.81%. Quote

cybercoma Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Yes we know, the oil sands are bad and there very existence goes against everything you believe in, your concern for Ontario jobs is heart warming... I don't have a problem with the oil sands. I have a problem with companies not paying the full cost of doing business, namely polluting the environment for free or very little cost and expecting their employees, the government, and future generations to pick up the expense. The oil sands are great for Canada. I would just like to see them pay the true cost of their business practices. Quote

MiddleClassCentrist Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 Harper the divine leader of Canada, Single handedly reached into every job sector. And so it was. His divine power did open up 80,000 positions in his most hated of provinces. Blessed be the gracious leader who loves all, even those who dislike him. Quote Ideology does not make good policy. Good policy comes from an analysis of options, comparison of options and selection of one option that works best in the current situation. This option is often a compromise between ideologies.

These gains are offset by all the people he fired in this budget. Quote
