Campbel...In Harper's government, anything goes. Campbell premier of BC Is blatantly corrupt. He sold the BC Rail, he has sold our rivers and a host of other shady deals. He used lying deceit to get re-elected and Harper did nothing about Campbell's obvious corruption. So, it figures, Campbell is working for Harper. I am going to support the Western Block Party. The East has always been their own separate country for as long as I can remember. All the Westerners tax dollars go to the East. I will never forget, when Chretienne said he didn't like the west because, we are different. However, he happily took the Wests tax dollars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-80610946517756937872009-08-26T21:43:06.039-04:002009-08-26T21:43:06.039-04:00Hi Elli...I'm afraid I have to disagree with j...Hi Elli...I'm afraid I have to disagree with just about everything else you say.<br />The Conservative management of our economy is a joke. They have embarrassed us around the world.<br />And since they haven't run a proper minority I hate to imagine what they would do with a majority.<br />But at least we agree that an election is inevitable. So at least that's something... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-66452931340284744512009-08-26T21:39:25.752-04:002009-08-26T21:39:25.752-04:00hi Scout....the problem is that when you have one ...hi Scout....the problem is that when you have one right-wing party and a collection of progressive ones, the harperite message comes through loud and clear while the progressive one sounds like a cacophony.<br />Progressives in this country need to decide what is more important...their party or Canada?Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-34556412992601905982009-08-25T17:20:13.519-04:002009-08-25T17:20:13.519-04:00The election was and is inevitable.

As the longest serving minority government in Canadian history the Conservatives have proven they can govern well on a limited mandate. Imagine what they might achieve for loyal Canadians if they had a majority.<br /><br />Take care, ElliReal estate in Torontohttp://ellidavis.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-26481119430417380122009-08-23T23:55:32.074-04:002009-08-23T23:55:32.074-04:00egads, i know iggy has been hanging himself but wo...egads, i know iggy has been hanging himself but won't someone PUHLEASE get the guy a set of balls?<br /><br />really...who's there to vote for? the ndp or greens but elizabeth may is a bit of a whack job, and layton comes up short (oops, pardon the physical analogy pun) when the heat is or could be cooking.<br /><br />i'd still go ndp though. arth, all this voting for the lesser of evils. and why do the cons keep lying and saying the economy is recovering when we hvane't even begun to see wha's coming down the pipeline?<br /><br />how many more 'harper strutting around the arctic' stories will we see? gosh, stevo, you sure look good in camofage! yuck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-80153268732455818762009-08-23T23:45:49.114-04:002009-08-23T23:45:49.114-04:00hi rabbit....look Harper is a political animal not...hi rabbit....look Harper is a political animal not a sentimentalist. He has spent the summer spraying BILLIONS of dollars all over the country. He has paraded before the cameras at summits. He has another meeting coming up with Obama.There is at least a feeling of optimism in the air about the economy. How long will that last? Forty per cent of Liberals believe the country is heading in the right direction. And one out of three of them would vote for the Conservatives as their first choice.<br />A recent poll shows Canadians are starting to get tired of Harper. So is later better?<br />My feeling is that Harper has always deeply regretted his last missed opportunity to go for a majority,and he'll roll the dice this time. The only question is whether he can come up with a way to defeat his own government without making it too OBVIOUS...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-31066950300490450892009-08-23T23:33:30.548-04:002009-08-23T23:33:30.548-04:00hi Geordie Tom....Nope.

It's not secret anymore.<br />And yes a more primitive version has been tried before ...and guess what it WORKED.<br />So I see no reason why a far more sophisticated version wouldn't work. Because luckily for our side Harper is Harper.<br />i do agree with you that this EI thing is going nowhere. Because all though we have way more than a million unemployed we never hear from them. So their pain is never heard and it fails to move voters.<br />Which is actually the point I was trying to make in this post.<br />If you want to move people you have to have a simple story that everyone can follow...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-23843173766492834442009-08-23T22:21:42.531-04:002009-08-23T22:21:42.531-04:00What evidence do you have that Harper wants an ele...What evidence do you have that Harper wants an election?
