And as for Alberta, you might hope that even people there will realize that putting all their eggs in one oily basket was not a good idea, and not vote for the Cons like a school of fish. But that might be asking too much....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-58663126214718451212015-01-16T07:53:01.073-05:002015-01-16T07:53:01.073-05:00hi anon...as I told Steve I also suspect that he m...hi anon...as I told Steve I also suspect that he might be planning an election call in February for a March election before things get worse and before the Duffy trial begins.

The cowardly closet leader didn't dare go to Paris. And the fact that he postponed the Three Amigos Summit can only mean he's scared of Obama OR is planning a February surprise, as I have warned about before. But one thing is for sure, now that he's leading us to economic disaster, we can't get rid of him soon enough...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-75978044113252771822015-01-16T07:47:02.926-05:002015-01-16T07:47:02.926-05:00hi Kathleen...yes I realize many Canadians are wor...hi Kathleen...yes I realize many Canadians are worried, and confused by all that propaganda.

Not only is Target ...The economy is going to tank. Not only is Target pulling out but so is Sony. The "working-middle class" is no longer there, in any real numbers. With one in six children in Canada living in poverty, things can not be all that good here. children live in poverty because their parents don't make enough money. that may become an election issue--no money. People may look to other parties in an effort to maintain social programs, if they sense they will need them. to continue to have one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the G-20 does Canada no good. its starved the bank account of the country and now there is nothing left to get the country through a recession. Harper was so anxious to give his base a tax break, he forgot they are not the majority.<br /><br />In the U.S.A. wages are actually rising. In Canada, not so much. You can't buy things if you don't have money. the only growth we will be seeing is in the numbers of people going to food banks, and they just won't be the unemployed, it will be the fully employed--the working poor.<br /><br />the great economist is going, going, gone. Next leader of the Cons., most likely the current Premier of Alberta. Even with a decline in their economy, due to oil prices going down, if he pulls that province through this, he will be the next leader of the cons. I'd suggest Alberta will weather the economic storm better than B.C.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-51689209171585936242015-01-15T14:07:05.191-05:002015-01-15T14:07:05.191-05:00Simon, I am beginning to seriously think a spring ...Simon, I am beginning to seriously think a spring election will be called, so your 'sooner' wish may come true.<br />Two interesting news items today: the Three Amigos Conference scheduled in Canada for February is being postponed to later this year, and Oliver says his budget will be postponed at least until April. Various reasons given for both items of course. A March election may be the real reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-85518655790558483052015-01-15T11:56:05.280-05:002015-01-15T11:56:05.280-05:00Internationally he has become a piarah.

Alone in the world and hopefully alone in Paliament when the CRAP party is back to one seat.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-84454649666896507942015-01-15T11:01:31.326-05:002015-01-15T11:01:31.326-05:00Canadians are being befuddled by BULLSHIT!Canadians are being befuddled by BULLSHIT!Marmaladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651890655542192076noreply@blogger.com
