It will make Canada poor & unlivable. <br /><br />As an oil/tar producing nation the Canadian $ continues to remain high which has resulted in the loss of 500,000 manufacturing jobs. There will not be 500,000 extraction jobs to replace them. This therefore leaves a lot of Canadian's unemployed. <br /><br />The neo-cons have not shown any willingness to provide subsidies to those who become unemployed as the result of their policies. In fact they are forcing people to work to 67.<br /><br />As unemployment in the country grows maybe people will wake up & see what is going on. The neo cons want to cut pensions, have cut medical funding, have not met their responsibilites to First nations People. To top it all off, the party who says they are best to run the financial affairs of the country continue to rack up deficiet after deficiet. <br /><br />With this continued deficiet they want to continue purchasing jets worth billions. The neo cons took us into two wars which cost a lot of people their lives & health. This also cost billions. How about spending those billions in Canada. <br /><br />If Harper & his neo cons was to spend billions how about enviornmental clean up, providing clean running water for all citizens, providing adequate housing for citizens, etc. I know this doesn't reward the foreign corporations but hey, they aren't Canadian. It is about time the government has a Canadian first policy.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-63266154801059568562012-03-31T00:22:20.060-04:002012-03-31T00:22:20.060-04:00I can't say I'm looking forward to Jimbo&#...I can't say I'm looking forward to Jimbo's next job either as Premier of Ontario.
