They have painted themselves into a capitalist corner. They HAVE to pursue this agenda but it will inevitably lead to greater poverty for the majority which will lead to electoral failure. You have to love it.

They have been laying off people and shutting down programs ( which employ people) Not long ago they made it harder to buy a house (cool off the housing market). Should we be surprised the construction employment figures are down? It seem they government is creating a crisis which eventually will require a stimulus program. I expect they will blame this on the state of the American and European economies. We need a stimulus program now before it becomes a crisis. We certainly need money spent of infrastructure. They could start on high speed trains on the same scale of building the Trans Canada Highway.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-13031125026740408242013-02-10T10:50:59.208-05:002013-02-10T10:50:59.208-05:00We've known for years that harper and Flaherty...We've known for years that harper and Flaherty are economic incompetents.
