  3. Dions green shift looks very much like a spend your way out of a recession idea once floated by Boob Rae many moons ago in Ontario resulting in Boob Rae days.
    We could be seeing Rae/Dion days again, real soon.

    Right now, the poll vote question is:
    Which party do you think would best manage an economic crisis?
    c’mon SDA nation. Let’s explain this to the panicking masses.
    Please vote.
    Sorry for the double posting on this and the other topic.

    Awesome article Sir.
    After reading the comments I finally understand why my country sucks. Seems like barely a third of the country has any real men left. The rest of you are like screaming women and children. I finally now undersdand who is voting for those 4 parties. I alway’s though it was mostly mindless, faceless folks that did not take the time to inform themself on their choices with a slant towards the gimy for nothing crowd.
    What do you guy’s do? Run home to your famelies and cry that the gov’t didn’t more of other peoples money to save your ass? Own up to your shit dudes.
    And crying and whining that our prime minister is not acting like a scared kid on your behalf? God lord. A man in control does not do that, but I guess for your vote he should pretend to not have a clue. Same old shit, you want the tooth fairy to tell you rosy stories, because you are not grown up enough for reali

  6. Or this:
    comment by Donna on Thursday, October 9, 2008 at 7:55 am:
    “In a cruel twist the PM was criticized in year end interviews for saying there were storm clouds on the horizon. Too critical yada yada”
    As for proof that the media bias is part of Harper’s problem – you have to look no further than the fact that every one of them have those interviews in their vaults – they know for a fact that the PM planned for this – yet they continue to promote the fact “he didn’t get it until too late and now he is reacting”.
    So here is a question for Andrew – why are those year end interviews not pulled out and put on the airwaves to calm the Canadian people that the Government has been planning for this? Why would the press not want to calm Canadians fears?

  7. Looking for maleness, of any type, in any quantity, in Canada’s media; is like looking for Waldo.
    Dion: Harper “so insensitive” on the economy
    MacDonald: “The PM’s failure to show empathy on the economy has turned Canadians off“
    Martin: Harper needs to feel our pain
    Yaffe: “(He) did little to convince that Harper truly is feeling Canadians’ pain.”
    Laghi: Harper offers policy, not an empathetic ear for Canadian concerns
    Radwanski: Not feeling your pain
    What did they do? Switch the fashion page reporters with the political?
    There’s more testosterone (and common sense)at Sweet Sixteen magazine.

  8. I saw Dion last night on the National. How anyone could have confidence in this doddering twit is beyond me. When asked about his Green Shaft, he launched into a bewildering dissertation that left me wondering if he even understands how it works. While extolling the benefits of the tax cut portion, he said precious little about the financial impact a carbon tax would have on the average family, and whether this would even be remotely “revenue neutral” for your average wage-earner. (Here’s a hint: you’ll pay way more than you get back.)
    Then he was asked about the tarsands, and again we got a confusing spiel about how he would make the tarsands “sustainable” (What’s “unsustainable” about it right now? No answer) and how he would use the talents of the universities of Western Canada (I suppose all the unemployed tarsands workers could just get work as professors) to find solutions which then be sold to other nations and we would all make “megatons of money”. What was missing was even a hint of what these solutions might be or how much they would cost. I suppose that the carbon tax would pay for them all.

  9. What “pain” are Canadians feeling?
    They’re feeling panic — much like a herd of cows that saw one twitch and is now convinced there are wolves in the pasture.
    But hey, it’s not in the media’s nature to be sensationalist, is it? They wouldn’t be in that pasture reporting on wolf sightings right behind the herd, would they?

  10. “Canada is home to the soundest banking system in the world”

    He-haw Dionky:
    “he outlined what he would do to the biggest economic engine in Canada – the Alberta oilsands. He would tax the crap out of them.”
    G. Fletcher said:
    “In fact Dion is even worse than imagined. According to today’s National Post, he voted 3 times to loosen restrictions on Canada’s banking system.
    Yesterday amidst the mangled jumble that emanated from this economic disaster’s pie hole, he outlined what he would do to the biggest economic engine in Canada – the Alberta oilsands. He would tax the crap out of them. Notwithstanding that current taxes (the Canadian Government takes 40% of the taxes from oilsands production) fuel a large amount of Government programs, he believes that increasing taxes during an oil price meltdown, a severely tightened credit market (it may be that Mr. Dion doesn’t know that the oil business is capital intensive years before you see a dime of return) and a resultant overall large increase in the cost of doing business will force oilsands companies to invest in massive environmental equipment, which in the end “will be good for them”.
    He also believes that the new environmental regime in Alberta will have people flocking to Canada from all over the world to participate in the ‘environmental oil boom’. Yeah, that’s right Stephie.
    If the companies in the past week – a number of the hottest oil companies in N. America – continue to shelve the plans at the rate they are doing now, there will be a moratorium on oilsands development for the next 10 years. Vastly increasing the cost of developing uneconomic oilsands hardly makes sense now, does it Stephie ol’ buddy.
    So are you that stupid, or are you busily being an eastern-based Liberal in the tradition of the classic Trudeau and Lalonde era and the National Energy Program, wherein for political purposes you destroy the goose that lays the golden Canadian eggs?”

  11. Dennis, I also saw Peter Pansbridge interviewing Stephane Dion on the National last night. (I know, I know, more masochism on my part.) I don’t know if it was deliberate on Peter’s part (surprising on Pravda), but he really challenged Dionsky’s rote talking points and reduced him to a piece of blubbering jelly, constantly repeating the same talking points, making outrageous and very general claims about how great he and the liebs were, and demonstrating an understanding of his own platform which is approximately equal to the square root of SFA. I don’t think he’s malignant like Layton, I think he really is just pathetic and trying to remember the coaching of the not-so-wise eminences behind his campaign. That’s why he thinks social spending is the same as a tax cut. And to think with the trending in the polls now this blubbering sheep could be our next minority PM. God save us!
    On the other hand, if we can just hold on to preserve a minority, this doofus will be gone within a year and the liebs wallow for at least another two. Keep fingers crossed.

  12. i gotta believe that anyone running a business in Ontario, that isn’t into the pockets of government knows who is the best leader.
    we can HOPE the CHANGE in voter tendencies see the leftoids staying home.
    YES WE CAN

  13. [quote]find solutions which then be sold to other nations and we would all make “megatons of money”. [/quote]
    The little socialist from France does not admit, nor do the unprofessional Canadian MSM pose the question, that he cannot control the retail price at the Pump. Regardless of how or why he taxes oil the cost will be a pass-though to the Middle Class. The EU/UN dung beetles have a plan… the plan is dependant on reverse reflex logic. Each step is predicated on the failure of the previous step. The little turd wants to nationalize Oil and all of Canada (communism).
    Dion’s huge grants to Universities places research hopes into the most benign of places (pushing the limits of science.. NOT) Universities are good at fleshing out (proving) the theory of others (Movers and Shakers). This idea of R@D is like ordering a BIG Mac at your local dump.
    Sell what to Whom? The US is not buying anything that is not made in the US of A
    Wake up Canada!

  15. bob rae. a damn silver spoon socialist just like pierre elliot twadles and his progeny.

  16. After Layton and Dion and Rae and the rest of the leftards have been blaming Mr. Harper for our sickly financial state, why isn’t this getting major media play I wonder?
