The Dutch Disease began when Harper and the Sultan of Saudi Alberta shared a Big Oil kruller together, without checking the best before date...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-899621969405678432012-05-14T03:44:07.101-04:002012-05-14T03:44:07.101-04:00hi Mound...well I certainly wish you luck.

A Liberal trying to act even more like a Con in order to defeat the NDP? Gawd. Politics in BC are even more complicated than they are in Quebec. ;)<br />But as for the Dutch Disease...what amazes me is that it took so long for politicians to even mention the word. And remember all those figures in the Tyee are at least a couple of years old. So the damage is even greater, and the Northern Gateway pipeline will only make matters worse. It's also important to note that the Harperites could do something to make its impact less severe, but because Big Oil doesn't even want its toenails clipped they won't. And that's why this issue if properly developed by Mulcair will hurt the Cons so badly...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-26127029710645622252012-05-13T16:04:32.640-04:002012-05-13T16:04:32.640-04:00I thought that the Dutch disease originated with B...I thought that the Dutch disease originated with Bill Van der Zalm.Skinny Dipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818163310102120130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-48428479404661258522012-05-13T12:26:36.534-04:002012-05-13T12:26:36.534-04:00Simon, we count the days until we can throw Christ...Simon, we count the days until we can throw Christy and her pack of stooges out on the street. At times it truly seems as though she is wilfully trying to infuriate the public out here. Even her hackneyed "free enterprise party" pitch from the 80's seems to be the last coherent thought she can recall.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-65821080256962010122012-05-13T07:49:40.258-04:002012-05-13T07:49:40.258-04:00Simon you had me wondering for a moment, I thought...Simon you had me wondering for a moment, I thought the Dutch disease was something that happened every time Clark opened her mouth. She truly is a piece of work and a shame that she has made such a joke out of her leadership as she could really have turned things around if she wanted to but seems to revel in giving BC'er the finger at every appearance she makes. The DD phenomenon seems very plausible to me, but the losses in manufacturing go much deeper and wider into every single right wing policy that abounds and they are directly responsible for this. Harper's been successful so far in wrapping it up in rhetoric but the good paying jobs that are disappearing aren't coming back and voters are starting to see through this fraud.bcwaterboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506402752799423770noreply@blogger.com
