Fantino, Aglukkaq) in the middle of a term.<br />To replace a minister, he has only done it at the beginning of a new term in office or the rare cabinet shuffle. To Harper.... to replace a minister when the heat is on him or her would be a sign of weakness, and an admission that had an incompetent person in the portfolio.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630890163958807048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-66738851965370078802014-12-04T05:31:03.700-05:002014-12-04T05:31:03.700-05:00Question Period - December 2, 2014

An event could leave stevie in the driver's seat for another 4 years. On the other hand if the Veterans keep up the pressure during an election, it might turn the tide, with aging baby boomers, who as children had parents who were veterans. <br /><br />The falling price of oil, maybe the undoing of Harper and is herd. If massive lay offs begin in Alberta, there will be workers returning to their home provinces, with no jobs, no social safety net. That could get ugly. <br /><br />Falling oil prices will not only have an impact in Alberta. The number of young people working in Alberta, who live in B.C. and commute, is not small. In some towns, if all those workers came home, it would not be a good time in B.C. The Alberta Premier is doing his current tour through the east to find an exit for their oil, if only to Europe. He may not want to battle it out in B.C.<br /><br />B.C. has the highest rate of child poverty in Canada for over 10 yrs. If all those workers come home and nothing happens with LNG, Harper might be toast. We can hope. <br /><br />Although you and other bloggers have provided coverage on the Rankin Inlet scandal, most of the MSM haven't given it the attention it deserves. However, if it goes mainstream, people may well get sick of Ms. A. but Harper won't fire her. The cons will try to ride it out. Because really what can we do? We tens of thousand march in the streets to protest the Vets and Rankin Inlet? Not so much. We can barely get enough people out to vote. On the other hand if there is a very fast "depression" in the economy and Duffy writes a book, it might be fun.e.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-83922627297989680552014-12-03T10:44:56.008-05:002014-12-03T10:44:56.008-05:00A new disaster daily, but not just for Harper for ...A new disaster daily, but not just for Harper for Canada. First <a href="http://thinkingaboot.blogspot.ca/2014/12/rip-jean-beliveau.html" rel="nofollow"> RIP Jean Beliveau</a> He was the type of Canadian we all deserve as leader. Your covering it pretty well but I want to add some other items you might highlight. (if I am redundent sorry) The RCMP will not release the terror tape of that proves it was a terrorist attaqck in Ottawa. That should tell everyone it was just a crazy person. The Wheat Board madness, first dispanding it then giving it away to AMD for free. Which will bankrupt the farmers, steal their land and make a new private wheat monopoly. Green energy is providing more jobs than the tar sand. With zero help in fact roadblocks from the Federal goverment. Canada now has its name linked to the worst nations in the world when it comes to climate change, endangeroured speices and overfishing. Well done Mr Harper.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-86081830990742301122014-12-03T08:48:53.263-05:002014-12-03T08:48:53.263-05:00Time to get the jack boots on eh Herr Harper?Time to get the jack boots on eh Herr Harper?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868396408359306954noreply@blogger.com
