Harper fails economy

[Hamloc]

I will certainly agree Harper has spent to much but what is the alternative to voting for Harper? Trudeau and Mulcair are not interested in less spending and smaller government. And I apologize reading your responses I did not get the impression you looked at government the same way as myself lol.

Harper fails the 'left wing media virtual' Economy... more like.

PM Harper will never satisfy the left leaning socialist media... CBC puts a log on the anti-Harper fire... and the rest seem to love piling on more logs to have a big bon-fire to roast PM Harper. As long as CBC gets $1.1B grant from gov. every year... they think the life is being sucked out of them.... because they want to hire all their friends and spend $2B/yr. Twice as much $ to CBC means twice as good at the CBC Virtual "Canadian" news! No news is accurate news... unless it is CBC news.

On CBC Wages:

This is quite the sunshine list of CBC employees being paid with Canadian Taxpayer money.

In the "can you believe this" department: as of April 14, 2014 over 10% of the "CBC ON-AIR GROUPS" made over $100,000 a year.
•4 employees made of $300k/year with the average pay among the 4 being almost $486k/year
•6 employees made between $250k and $299k with the average being just over $270k/year
•9 employees made between $200k and $249k with the average being just over $226k/year
•21 employees made between $150k and $199k with the average being just over $179k/year
•89 employees made between $100k and $149k with the average being just over $121k/year

Over $20 million dollars a year going to the CBC Sunshine Club and another $80 million going to the rest of the CBC employees in this group.

Your tax dollars hard at work.

We put up with these shinanigans...because we are good Canadians... but it doesn't mean that CBC should get $2B or be unaccountable to the Canadian taxpayer for the $1.1B of our money they (CBC) do "Spend" each year.

Does anyone actually think our lives would materially change... if the CBC were to become accountable to the taxpayers of Canada?

Getting a solid pushback on the far left in Canada is impossible. We held em off for a decade. Took a flamethrower to the _ _ _. Got only ONE gun law repealed!!
Sure Harper made mistakes. He also had the top job for a decade. I cant wait to listen to the noise on here 10 years from now!!!
Everybody I ever met changed their tune when they retired and stare at their tax bill all day!!!!!
Start hiding cash boys!!!!!
As for politics in this country, why does anyone give a damn anymore with where its headed.

[wmoebis]

You are right Tom. And in 10 years Harper has done nothing about it! Why would that change if he gets in again?

WM
If Lib/ND were in Charge... CBC would be extracting $2b from taxpayers at Least.
BBC has more tha $5b in revenue... Poor(not) CBC should be entitled to what half as much (tongue in cheek)... To keep up!!!
This is not where PM Harper is... He actually cut the CBC funding 10 percent.

Hamloc: I apologize for my last sentence in my last post. That was rude and uncalled for. But as you can probably tell I am pi--ed! I am tired of being fed BS by Harper et al. I am tired of their excuses that it is all the LIB/ND fault even though they have had a solid majority for the last 4 years. I am tired of hearing of the 2008 recession even though we have a resource based economy and have had record high commodity prices much of the time since 2009. I am tired of not being represented in government by my MP but rather my MP representing Harper. I am tired of being told to be scared of everything from the economy, to crime, to ISIS, to Trudeau and Mulcair. I am tired of the self serving Action Plan Ads for programs never implemented and the stupid ads telling me Trudeau is not ready but he has nice hair and insinuating Mulcair is a crook but never a Conservative ad telling me what Conservatives will do in the future. I am tired of being looked at as an idiot by the Conservative ad writers.
I am tired of the patronage and rewards this government practice and the corruption including the breaking of election laws by Con staff and by Harper appointed Senators.
Most of all I am tired of the absolute BS by average Canadians who have bought Harper's talking points hook, line, and sinker and continue to preach these fabrications as gospel. Like Oliver attributing Canada's ranking in the reputation index to Harper yet likely not knowing how this ranking was derived or realizing that some of the countries with the worst economies like Italy, Japan, Portugal, and Spain also rank highly. Or Tom who claims we lead the G7 but never admitting we led only in 2 of many economic factors and in fact that happened a number of years ago. Or being told again by Tom that the Lib/ND would double the CBC budget because the BBC is 5 times CBC's. Total BS and exaggeration from someone claiming repeatedly to be Christian.

You ask what is the alternative. Well I am going to vote for someone who will actually represent me and my constituency. In other words, anyone but the Conservative candidate. Regardless of the party, I will vote for the person I believe who will most willing to listen to me and work with whoever forms the government. I no longer want someone who simply represents Harper as my MP but someone who will represent me!

And I pledge to continue to call BS on total fabrications that are being put out as fact by any person and any party.

Good one, DM...

Tom4cwb's Christianity is nothing more than a disguise he uses at his convenience. His true colors come out every post he makes.

[Hamloc]

Dml I appreciate the fact that you have obviously given this a lot of thought. My only comment is that is how we ended up with a NDP provincial government in Alberta, only time will tell whether it was a wise choice or a mistake. Everyone was tired of the status quo.

[stonepicker]

What a stupid comment forage! Is a christian not supposed to have an opinion? I'll take tom's comments and experience over your gibberish every time.

[perfecho]

The NDP was a result of a government laden with corruption and unethical practices... if we had put them back in we were condoning the practises.
Unfortunately, as a society, we are condoning unethical operation of some large corps, some brokers and allowing practises to flourish if they make money ....this will eventually bite us in the butt big-time, already has.
Even heard parents say "It's all about winning.."..guess where that is going to get us.

Of coarse Christians should have opinions,never stated they shouldn't, just when they express them they should be truthful.

Stonepicker learn to read, that always seems to be a problem of yours.
