Conservative Ag policy?

[FarmRanger]

If nothing else gets done in a Conservative minority government other than allowing a proper investigation, and subsequent prosecution of all the corruption in the previous Liberal government, it will be the most worthwhile in the history of the country. I can’t see any opposition parties, except the Liberals of course, voting against rooting out, and prosecuting corruption.

F_s said “if the Bloc holds the balance of power in a minority Conservative government then Quebec City and Montreal will decide how the people in the regions should live.”
Only if Harper has the ethics of a Liberal. I’d rather give him the chance to prove otherwise, we already know who Liberals sell out to, and who pays the tab.
Is this the next Liberal strategy? Vote Bloc and Harper or Liberal? Nope, not biting.

“Albertans vote with their hearts and not their heads”!! So we are supposed to vote for criminals because if we do they might give back some of the money they stole from us?
Sorry, my head says vote anything but Liberal, and see thieves prosecuted instead.

“Quebecors holding their noses and voting Liberal” Methinks there will be a lot more federalist Quebec Liberals will be holding their noses and voting Conservative than the other way around. Evidence of this is bearing out in the fact that Conservatives have been rising in the polls in Quebec directly at the expense of the Liberals.

If people are gullible enough to vote for the NDP because they like the nanny state concept, then they will hold the balance of power. Layton is hammering on Harper this weekend, so he must hope he can get some of the conservative vote.
I think we will be at the polls again in a year or a year and a half, and that is not a good thing for this country.
One good think that I see happening is that more people are planning on voting than in the past election.

The one thing I would hope Harper doesn't do if he gets elected is let up on the investigations? If he only has a short time in office it would be helpful if he ferreted out all the thieves and brought them to justice?
Does anyone really doubt that Paul Martin and Jean Chretien don't deserve to go to jail? I realize they have probably insulated themselves fairly well but you start sending the peons to jail and sooner or later someone is going to spill the beans? Cut some deals with the little fish and they just may give up the big fish, sort of thing?
I wonder if the Liberals are getting the paper shredders up to speed right now?

The Romano administration did just that in Sask. They prosecuted many of Divine"s MLA's...to the point that it was begining to look like a whitch hunt.

It was a witch hunt and rural Sask. has been paying for it ever since.

If Harper gets a minority it might be very advisable to spend his time in government on the trail of the thieves? Might just guarantee him a majority somewhere down the road?
I think every citizen in Canada should be totally outraged by this den of thieves? This gang of crooks have bled this country for too long and that includes the Mulrooney years...thieves come in all colors?
I sometimes wonder how this country with all the resources it has can be in debt up to our ears? The fact is we can actually afford the expensive social safety net we have in place, but we can't afford a group of parasites skimming off the cream! You get a crew of thugs worse than the Mafia ripping off the people for decades and is it any wonder that we owe hundreds of billions of dollars?
Maybe we need to go back in history and learn how to deal with tyrants who ****d the people? Set the guillotine up on Parliment hill and clean up the trash?

[FarmRanger]

I wonder if all the promises we're hearing from the Liberals and Conservatives are due mainly to the fact that neither of the parties expect to get a majority? Pretty easy to make promises if you can blame not keeping them on someone else.
Layton can promise pretty well anything, he doesn't have much chance of ever having to deliver.

[cowman]

Bob Rae once thought the same way? Not a snow balls chance...and then voila!
He almost ruined Ontario trying to live up to all the promises he tried to keep?
I think the powers that be have said the Conservative promises are doable with Laytons in second place, and Martins the worst? However only one party has ever had the opportunity to keep their promises? And obviously they have failed in a big way? So why would we believe them now?

yes divines group got caught with their hand in the till. are you guys trying to rewrite histroy.

i must agree sadly that rural sask is paying for it now.

but dont go bashing the ndp for being the biggest spenders how about mulroney devine and george bush all record spenders

[ivbinconned]

Yes fiscal "conservatives" are hard to find, which make's those secular conservatives who's demands that social conservatives shut up I have always found laughable.

But lets not forget, it was the Liberals in Mulronys and Devine's coalitions where the corruption started.
