Oh, Shiny Pony!

I'll take, "looking for his car in the parking lot" for $500

all of your eggs in one basket = bad
oil = bad
PMSH = bad

It is that simple.

Whoa! Junior does not realize that oil accounts for only 8.5% of our economy.
PM Harper did not put those companys to work, private industry and investors did.

I think if JT can get his "Blue Steel" look going he will win with a majority!

In his drug addled stupor, "True-Dope-ia 2.0's" vision will most likely need reality correction.

His most likely result is to drop the egg basket, creating a scrambled mess.

And how would you like your breakfast? A Humpty Dumpty economy coming right up!

I expect with "True-Dope-ia 2.0"; he will achieve much drama, resulting in tragedy.

The leader with far away eyes.

Unfortunately the average voter in Canada believes Trudeau and the ''eggs'' remark.

I burst out laughing the other day when Justin said that ''we have to revitalize the manufacturing sector in Ontario,something THIS HARPER government hasn't done''!

And the way to do that is to implement a carbon tax and raise corporate tax rates, plus invest heavily in wind and solar power!!

Anyone know if there is a book available ,''Economics for Dummies'', so I can send Justin a copy?

So many of Justin's sound bites like they come out of a Junior High debating club.

There is an old military expression - "reinforce success, not failure" A lot more is to be gained promoting successful industry than flogging dead ones.

The only reason this guy is getting anywhere is because people are smitten with the fact that he has a famous father. Now, I like Keith Richards as much as the next guy. But we are talking about running a country here!

Shiny Pony could make the movie, "Dumb and Dumber" all by himself.

I think "Turdo La Doo" needs his own country to rule. And if that means kicking out Morontario and Queeebeck to make his dream a reality - I am just peachy with it.

You can bet those eastern idiots will be aiming to finance their pipe dreams and sticking the west with the bill like they've always done. I think if they actually had to pay for their own lesbian-only bike paths they might re-consider their economics.

As long as labour costs are cheaper in places like China and as long as unions make manufacturing exportable goods uncompetitive in the western world, manufacturing jobs are not coming back to eastern Canada.
Easterners better learn to be loggers and miners because if a job can be done cheaper overseas, that is where it's going.
Unfortunately for J.Trudeau, a large part of his present constituency is going to be at odds with harvesting resources and harvesting resources is the economic future for eastern Canada.

If Trudeau fils were really looking for someone to blame for Ontarians’ economic woes, a good place to start would be with the Provincial Liberals. There are numerous reasons why the Ontario economy is lagging, chief among them the Clean Energy Act that mandated alternative (green) energy sources for Ontario’s electricity supply. The outcome is that Ontario has the highest electricity costs of any jurisdiction in North America, higher even than California. And we all know that manufacturing requires a lot of electricity.

The Liberals made a deal with South Korean manufacturing giant Samsung to produce $10 billion worth of windmills, thousands of which are now polluting the landscape all over Ontario as well as countless solar installations. What’s more, each wind or solar installation requires a traditional coal, gas or hydro generation facility for those cloudy days when the wind doesn’t blow. Adding insult to injury, Ontario is often forced to sell surplus electricity to neighbouring jurisdictions, like New York and Michigan at a loss! These “green” energy sources account for about 4% of the provinces electricity, yet are responsible for over 30% of the cost.
“Green” energy sources account for about 4% of the provinces electricity, yet are responsible for over 30% of the cost

Then there’s the small matter of the provincial budget deficit. It’s actually no “small” matter, given that currently Ontario’s Liberals are spending a lot more than they’re taking in in taxes, with no end in sight. By the end of fiscal 2013, Ontario’s debt was a whopping $288.10 billion representing 37.4% of GDP, the highest in Ontario history. If more than one-third of your gross domestic product is debt that goes to fund a ravenous beast addicted to shopping, then the future doesn’t look very promising.

The only thing young Trudeau and his minions are likely to have achieved at their caucus retreat in southwestern Ontario is blowing smoke into the ears of local politicians with promises of easy prosperity. And like the numerous wind turbines sucking wealth from Ontarians’ pockets these promises of easy wealth, like smoke, will dissipate into nothingness.

Hey!

How about a centrally planned economy directed from Ottawa?

Sure, that'll work!

No doubt Mr Trudeau will use this to campaign against the Family Tax Cut:

Families earning more than $233,000 will gain most from Conservatives' income splitting plan, says new report

From the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives a far left so-called think tank populated by such intellectual stars as Maud Barlow and Paul Hellyer. I don't have the temperament to read their, judging by the sources, marxist justification. Maybe others of stouter stuff could could offer a critique. I made the mistake of reading one of their articles, The Deficit Made Me Do It, where they incredulously claimed interest rate hikes cause inflation ceretus paribus (all other things being equal). An economist friend told me the author hadn`t read anything in 25 years.

Perhaps, but doubtfully, Mr Trudeau will quote this primer on our so-called over reliance on oil:

http://news.nationalpost.com/2015/01/27/stephen-gordon-the-petro-plunge-will-be-painful-but-we-will-adapt/

No one will be surprised to learn that higher oil prices spurred more oil production, but the increase was surprisingly modest: The average growth rate of after the 2002 was 3.6%, compared to 2.6% during the preceding 12 years. But since other sectors have been growing even faster, the oil and gas sector’s share of GDP declined from 6.4% in 2002 to 6% in 2014. Its share of employment has increased, but is still only 1.7% of the total. Claims to the effect that Canada has become a “petro state” or that its economy is largely dependent on oil simply do not mesh with the facts. As far as output and employment are concerned, the Canadian economy of 2015 is surprisingly similar to what it looked like in 2002.

....to hear all that PT Jr. knows about the economy should take all of a minute.......I take that back it will take him a couple of minutes to figure out what the question is and searching his brain to see if he has memorized a talking point to answer it.

Talk about "everything in one basket", JT will be the king of that concept, raise every tax there's ever been and dream up a dozen new ones. See folks I can balance the budget, unlike that mean stupid Harper.

The crown prince of hair can't slag silent Steve on basing revenues on petro production - because the rest of the nation;s major industries have been either hamstrung or chased offshore by the very economic fascism Truedough rev 2.0 is pimping - only the oil patch is cranking the big bucks into the coffers - and look at the respect they get for it from these pinch nosed eastern commies.

Clearly, it's time for us Canadians to re-think "time and space", because when we do "the budget will balance itself", or some such horseshit... just ask Justine the clown, he knows how to fall down stairs and do somersaults too...

Let's be absolutely clear about one thing here:

Government is not supposed to run the economy.

Consumer decisions are supposed to run the economy.

In Trudeau's world the government should have anticipated every market force and twigged some knobs and pulled some levers on the magical unicorn train and solved everything. How is that working out for Barack Hussein "not a muslim" Obama? (muslims don't golf or something)

My comment on Monte Solberg's article;

Michael McCallion · Top Commenter · Brock University
Does anyone, even the enemedia doesn't try a drive-by smear of P.M. Harper, when the Bank of Canada makes a preemptive strike against the Speculators and Euro-Vulture scammers at the first step in the Greek Government change?

Do you think some person appointed to BoC by a Trudeau, either past or aspirant, would have;

!/. a BoC Governor who would take the resposibility of lowering
the Canadian benchmark interest rate?

2/. a BoC Governor who would be able to discuss the rationality of the Board of Governors of the BoC making such a move with a Prime Minister capable of understanding the need for the change?

The Major Banks of Canada immediately projected a much lower exchange rate at the time. This much lower rate did not happen because of the preemptive strike by the BoC.
