Proven false statements here!

Corporations are sitting on record high revenues that they refuse to re enter into the economy.

Yes and no. Corporations are sitting on a lot of cash waiting for the right time throw it into investment. No sense building new plants or hiring a bunch of workers if their products don't have demand due to other countries not yet able to buy more product. That's actually the exciting thing about where Canada is positioned. When the Global economy picks up, many of our businesses are well-positioned to take advantage. Really good times ahead.

Not sure if you looked at a calendar lately? But the year is 2014! Where have you been for the last 5 years Rumpelstiltskin?

I've been watching as the best economic managers this country has ever had have lowered taxes and increased revenue. More good news to come.

And yet, here it is, working exactly as advertised.

Because 5 years later there is a few months of surplus?

The middle class sacrificed their educations, health care, retirements, infrastructures for years so that the elite can pack their Caymen island accounts and buy the blue, red AND lime green Ferraris for their vacation homes for this?!?!?!?!?

Doesn't matter how you dress it up or how many show girls you use to sell it, they don't work!

Our middle class is thriving -- trickle down is absolutely working.

Well I guess if you're happy about it, then you'll vote conservative.

I didn't say there was a problem with the surplus, did I? When will you stop asking questions phrased like, "when did you stop beating your wife, Shady?"

The tone of the OP shows that you do not wish the CPC well.
  • Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."
  • Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds.
  • Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location?
  • The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

No that's not right.

What cybercoma is saying is that he believes that this surplus will be the main focus of the conservative re election campaign.

That's what I get anyways.

Of course it will. I said it 3 years ago. The CPC set fires that they could put out during the election year. It has been obvious since day 1. They'll wave around the surpluses like it's some kind of accomplishment, when the main reason they went into such a deep deficit is the tax cuts, credits, and incentives that they gave out over the last several years.

Please. If you get to wave their responsibility over the "global financial crisis," that Harper denied when they went into a deficit, then you don't get give him credit for the surpluses that are largely due to the rebounding economy.

When every government is running a deficit, then you can pretty easily blame it on the global economy. When only some governments are running a surplus, it isn't so easy to pin it in economic improvement. Obviously Canada's fiscal policies just haven't been that bad.

No, that's how they got OUT of the huge deficits that the opposition piled upon them.

No sorry, you actually have it backwards.

Because the majority of the MP"s sitting in the house of commons knew that to lesson the impact of the recession there was a needed a surge in stimulus spending.

This was what saved our economy from collapse.

And in the end, the conservatives took credit for the debt by posting a sign at every single project, see link

Yes, the Conservatives are the best economic managers in this country's history. Thanks for posting the link that confirms it.

It would be impossible to find a link that confirms that. unlees the goernments have been lieing to us. More surplus budgets provided by Liberals.

Does it really matter?

The job of our government is to run the country that serves the people, not run a company!

If anybody does not see the difference. I hope to God you never become a politician!

The government is not a run for profit organization.

The conservatives are playing to their base here, sounds like they are worried.

And that's a good thing my friends!

No sorry, you still have it backwards.

Back in 2008/2009, the liberals, bloq and the NDP had the majority of MP's sitting. Not the conservatives.

Increasing stimulus spending that saved our economy (not to be confused with increased military spending, increase conservative government staff and deeper corporate tax cuts) was something that the MAJORITY MP's sitting wanted, not the conservative MP's.

It was until the MAJORITY sitting MP's told the GG that the gig was up if the conservative MP's don't play ball.

So do you want to blame the conservatives for the deficit or give credit to the opposition for saving the economy by demanding increased spending? You can't do both.

The two are separate things!

You are not reading the link (sorry my comment I mean), and then extrapolating a question from only the parts that you read to fabricate another position which I do not take.
