Lawrence Solomon: On Harper, you be the judge
“Harper is most respected for his economic stewardship — Canada was the envy of the Western world in weathering the 2008 Great Recession. As the New York Times reported last year, Canada likely has surpassed the United States to have the world’s most affluent middle class. While the median income has dropped in the U.S., Canadian incomes have risen impressively, especially for those in the bottom 20 per cent. The number of people below the Low Income Cut-off is at its lowest level ever. A recent OECD report shows Canada has done a particularly exemplary job in reducing child poverty since Harper took over, despite the Great Recession.
“But money in people’s hands isn’t the only measure of well being. Canada ranks among the top 10 nations of the world in having the World’s Most Open Governments, in the Social Progress Index, in the Soft Power 30 Index, and in the World Happiness ranking, and we are the absolute top in Best Country for Business in the G20, and Best GDP growth among the G7 nations. Not surprisingly, when you put all this together, Canada landed in the #1 spot as the most respected nation in the world, based on a survey of 48,000 people around the world conducted by the Reputation Institute, which ranked 55 nations for perceived trust, admiration and respect.”
And many are quite eager to throw this all away simply for the sake of “change”.
It’s too bad that we all have to suffer for the stupidity and poor decisions of the liv.
Come on guys!!! Don’t give up!!! Harper can win on Monday or has the crying and blaming already begun?
Actually, Mr. Mem, I believe it’s still possible for Harper to win, though only a minority. http://www.ekospolitics.com/
If you believe this poll is correct rather than Nanos, then the election is basically tied. and I think the CPC has better voter efficiency and more reliable turnout.
For all the CPC supporters on this site, Monday morning go to the nearest CPC riding office where the race is close, and offer your help. Driving people to the polls in particular is an important job that helps get out every last vote.
If he wins he’ll lose the first confidence vote and the NDP or Libs will form a gov’t with the others support. It’s over…
As i mentioned last night this article by Solomon could have/should have been written by CPC and been used by each candidate to counter the lies and propaganda. He argues each claim that Harper has favoured the oil industry and hurt the environment. We should have heard this stuff all thru the campaign
Hopeful for Monday, but ready for the worst.
It’s 2008 all over again with the simple masses falling for the pretty boy with the airy-fairy charm and saccharin promises.
My riding looks tight. I was actually impressed with the NDP candidate for her intelligence and demeanour during the debate. And I am predicting the Green candidate will do better than last election. I am hoping for a 3 way split vote for the lefties and our CPC candidate to be re-elected.
Ya Memsy. Start up your pimped-out hearse, pick-up a few of your meth-head friends and head out to the polling station. They want change too. Spare change. The future of Canada depends on you and your ilk. Dopey b–t–d.
But … but the Liberals say we a in recession, the economy in ruins. They wouldn’t bold-faced lie would they?
Oh wait … they’re liberals.
I’ll translate your gibbersish.
“We cons are losing. We tried bribing, cheating a fear mongering. It should have worked. WTF happened?”
The country awaits the wisdom and ethical purity you and your brain trust will bring. It’s impossible for you ever to have a clue. Isn’t it. Troll.
Chretien stumps for Quebec Liberal candidate Will Amos.
With Chretien’s help, Amos has become a star candidate…But since the race began, three different people have come forward with stories of Amos trying to negotiate their support. Two say he offered future favours once he was elected…
Re: “We cons are losing. We tried bribing, cheating a fear mongering. It should have worked. WTF happened?”
Just keep in mind that we won the last two elections in the wake of SPONSORGATE. So please, spare us the sermon on ethics.
I live in Saskatchewan, most of my family lives in Calgary. Saskatchewan and Alberta own most of the oil and Uranium in Canada. Both southern Saskatchewan and Alberta have some of the windiest areas in Canada, and we also have the most sunshine thus we also own a large portion of the clean energy in this nation. Saskatchewan owns one of the largest potash deposits in the world.
Sooner than later, Western Canada will wake up and realize we don’t really need maple syrup and snowshoes to get by. And if you look at a 2016 political map of the USA, it’s clear sailing for Republican pipelines right down to the Gulf of Mexico. Be careful what you wish for.
Meanwhile …..over in fantasyland….
1. Get out and vote. Dad always said back in the Peg that if someone he didn’t like did in fact win “it won’t be on my vote”
2. If possible help your local CPC candidate get others out vote.
3. If you want to bug the troll ignore her.
”Chretien stumps for Quebec Liberal candidate Will Amos.”
I thought Amos was a Right leaning liberal?? Chretien always speaks from the left!
As to your point #3 … good advice. The troll can go away under the impression that its cutting wit has left us speechless and that’s fine, so long as it goes away.
Another way to get rid of a troll, which always worked on the notorious troll John, was ask for examples to back up absurd statements. That always made him head for the hills.
Folks, here is my tip (and I am largely following Bart F. above):
1. Vote! Vote! Vote! Tell your friends and family to vote too.
2. Help your local candidate in the next 48 hours. Put out signs, drive the elderly to the polls, and so forth, do everything you can. Ground game, ground game, ground game.
The pinkos think they smell victory, but they are dreaming. However it takes work to win. Taking nothing for granted.
Yup, BC and BartF, getting out the vote will be critical. As of yesterday, according to EKOS, it’s pretty much a dead heat.
Interesting is the fine print on that poll you linked- 7.2% undecided and 14% “didn’t provide a valid response”.
I’m going with “piss off I’m eating dinner” for the win.
I vote in Cypress Hills–Grasslands. Our CPC candidate David Anderson is running at 65% with a 98% chance of winning the seat. Since 1997, this seat has crushed the Liberals and the NDP with up to 69.8% of the pop vote. Needless to say, this is a safe seat.
A song for any candidates who believe they can take this seat away from the CPC!! https://youtu.be/plsrmXJFuLk
That’s probably a good thing; one never wants to take the electorate for granted as Mr Mem luxuriates in his polling solipsism.
Ekos & Nanos are mostly urban LIEberal push polls; they were horribly wrong the last time out to the hustings.
But it always pays to work hard, something the LIEberals still don’t get.

No, they get hard work. They just think it’s beneath them and you need to so more of it to pay for their lives.
In other news, the Liberals friends, the Taliban, are suing British soldiers and the MoD is taking steps to pull out of the European convention on Human Rights as well as going after legal firms bringing the frivolous suits.

David Frum’s tweeted defense of Stephen Harper — I’ll leave it broken into tweets:
Under Harper, Canada achieved the best economic performance in the developed world through the worst economic crisis since the 1930s
Fastest return to pre-crisis employment. Strongest wage growth. Only Australia and Germany close — and their workforce participation dropped
At a time of US drift and retreat, it was Harper who spoke for the West’s best values in the Middle East and the Ukraine crisis
Harper delivered a decade without separation crises or other threats to Canadian unity – never easy in a potentially unstable country
Harper did all these things at the head of a party he personally had to unify and recreate. He did the jobs with tools he had to make
Yet at the end of a decade, he delivered cheaper and more efficient government, lower taxes, and a solid record of growth
Now, a decade after a global crisis originating in the US, Canada confronts a likely global recession originating in China
Harper’s rival propose to cope with the crisis by expanding government and/or risking Canada’s credit.
It’s only Harper who’ll steer Canada safely through the very tough made-in-China crisis ahead
Harper critics complain he didn’t mobilize the country to a grand “national project.” Canada has had sufficient grim experience of those
They complain his management style is too disciplined & austere. Any future PM will run his caucus more or less the same way.
They itemize individual bad calls, like long-form census. I won’t hold my breath awaiting a head of govt who governs faultlessly
But mostly the critics are seething w ideological zeal that warns that today’s Cdn progressives have veered into new extremism, and will – if they get the chance – jettison the Martin style of the 1990s to govern in a headlong, reckless, and irresponsible way
The risks are high, the circumstances are grave. A hyper-competent incumbent faces ultra-ideological rivals. Choose wisely.
AGW RIP.

“Margaret Trudeau admits driving drunk”
“I can finally talk about this, because it’s over,” Trudeau said of her “humiliating” May 30, 2004, arrest for impaired driving.
Trudeau said she was driving home from an Ottawa barbecue after having “too much wine to drink” when she was stopped by police.
After a lengthy legal battle, Trudeau was acquitted in May when a judge ruled her Charter rights were violated by police.” http://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/diseases_cures/2008/06/26/margaret_trudeau_admits_driving_drunk.html
Andrew Furey had a good column yesterday and he reminded us of Trudeau’s resume.
“In terms of career experience, all the 43-year-old’s chalked up is a couple years as a teacher in British Columbia. After that, he entered an engineering program but soon dropped out, then started another MA program but dropped that too. He became an MP shortly after, in 2008.
In other words, he spent the years before entering politics dabbling in this and that, drifting about without any commitment to work or school.”
Considering the truth of this, why is Conrad Black supporting Trudeau?
And why today is Gunter’s column in the Tor Sun saying: Harper could win, but I think Trudeau will. (Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy.)
What’s with these people?
The media created Trudeau, they coddled him and they watched their little bundle of hair grow up and pined for his dashing good looks and cool kid personality.
We’ll have a bit of buyers remorse before he gets installed.
By the way, once Harper is gone, derangement syndrome will be in full effect. If anyone thinks the media consortium will be kinder and gentler to the next Conservative leader they’re deluding themselves.
AGW RIP.

it’s an insult to the position of Prime Minister in this country if the people are so out of reality to elect someone like Justin Trudeau who will not be making decisions, they will come from whoever happens to be behind that Liberal red curtain. All PM’s have people who give them information, offer choices but ultimately the PM has to have the smarts to make the final decision, he takes responsibility.
What we’ve heard from Trudeau ad libbing should give a lot of people great pause before casting their ballots for a pig in a poke administration with no guarantee Trudeau will even heed their advice be it good or bad.

The Solution
Bertolt Brecht
After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writer’s Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

I shall now constantly advocate that anyone paid by taxpayer dollars anywhere, crown corporation, provincial employee, anywhere, shall not be allowed to earn more than $200,000 per year, given that’s the dividing line between greedy and nice, as per the statists’ comments. It should be enshrined in law. That will shut their SJW up BS once and for all.
Statists would “rather the poor were poorer provided the rich were less rich.” You first.
Trudeau has been using as a talking point downsizing the PMO. He likes the “symmetry” of this idea (I am sure someone fed him that line) as his father built up the PMO. Well in my view, the size of the PMO reflects the relative strength of weakness of the leader. Of course Justin can afford to downsize the PMO because he will not be running the show. He would mostly need a cosmetic PMO — some group to book his talke to high schoolers.
