20 good reasons our children can be proud Canadians TODAY!

[blackpowder]

Ive heard it all now. Willy blaming a pm for low interest rates. And here I thought they followed the Fed etc.
And Damn those wage earning spending building young people. How do you get any peace?
And Blue chip dividend stocks with options for covered writing? Of course Heresy! How does the world work without a stock board/pool?
I'm sure your not the landlord getting 3-5% value / acre for rent. Every year income totalling what you paid for it in 71.
How hard it must be telling everyone to contribute their Fair share while you want Your fair Share. Means different things with a different emphasis doesnt it?
Congratulations you have passed the Old Socialist test. You can now go to town on purple gas!

What I wonder about is that zero rate policy must have pulled forward an awfull lot of demand from the future but how much?how come we didnt get bigger GDP prints with all the debt injected?after so many years with the pedal to metal how are we not going to start seeing negative growth?

tom to Harper

sunshine, lolly pops and rainbows everywhere is what i feel when your our leader.

No.1 good agreements and nation building
(WTF is that?)
are you talking about global agreements in building (world corporate control).

no.2 softwood
.i do not know enough of the specifics to comment.( i am sure there is a story there too)

no. 3 trade agreements with the east

. i would hope any govt. would work for trade agreements.

no.4 marketing boards

we all know the story on that one.
the only reason the marketing boards still exist is for electoral reasons.

and when the time is right, when ever the PCs are sure to lose the next election. the plug will be pulled and the industry will be handed over to the corporations. simple as that.

no.5 integrated transport systems

coming from you Tom that has to be some good Harper kool-aid your drinking.

no. 6 airlines

not worth a comment

no. 7 telecommunications cost less

you fail to mention , they are probably still the most expensive in the world.

no. 8 postal changes
i can't deliver wheat in a year ,but i can mail a letter.
gee whiz good job.

no 9. vehicle standards .

meaningless
and priceless coming from you esp.

are you the new ritz, spewing out
whatever the con. election machine tells you.
( we can tell this issue was personal and near and dear to your heart)

no. 10 lowest interest rates.

that is like taking credit for the price of oil or wheat.
except
( well they can take credit for horrible wheat and canola basis)

no. 11 cheapest food.
ya farmers are pretty good . what does it have to do with the Con.s

( food is cheap Tom, maybe you and the Con. PR guy that made this crap up
could eat something and your delusions would go away)

No.12 credit and bank cards
yes they put a limit on the robbery.
(stole that from the ndp)
buy votes here , pay the banks somewhere else.

no.13 life expectancy

yes contrary to to what con.s believe there is this thing called scientific research and advancement .
it actually works and should not be muzzled

14 more people eating more food.

really , your scraping bottom now.

15. less soil and water erosion.
thank god for Harper on that one.
(pfra closure , i can tell it's a priority for him)

16-20 another 4 things that are so far off topic , have nothing to do with Harper. but these are great things.

and prove why Harper should be reelected .

god when can i vote

Yes, it's great to help new families with reasonable interest rates so they can live in comfortable homes, but to have almost zero interest rates and create super hyper inflation in housing and farmland is assinine. Did you see what happened in US in 2008? The world got a wake-up call and nobody heard. Interest rates and money supply are fiscal tools countries use to put a lid on runaway prices for real estate. IMO, this is a very dangerous game and it may come to bite us.

Your 100% right, Harper will not lose the election because of the CWB.

Harper will lose his job as PM due to the fact that when someone takes on a job they are not qualified to do and they fail miserably at it they get canned. But, in Harper's case the voters of Canada will cast their well deserved vote elsewhere.

Cheers for democracy!!

BTW Sawfly,

I was working on my 'list' from the thread about the federal election... this list was mine and mine alone...

Even though we live in the land of Milk and Honey...
You think me funny!

Where exactly would you go... to find a better place to be Sawfly?

Let us know when you do find your 'Hotel California'!

Hope you Enjoy! Grin

[grower99]

Did being a proud Canadian only become possible with the present PM? Sorry I find it harder to be proud given his style of politics. Not a progressive conservative rather a putinesque type'

[TOM4CWB]

99,

If you pulled a Snowden... I bet you could get in!

Cotton you invite 100 billion worth of chinese immigrant investment. Makes the ballance sheet ballance. Now if my northern canoe routes are infested I am out of here.
