God, this would make 5 since 2000.

Of course you will say this Hill....your job is in jeopardy...I know you like sitting on your butt trying looking important behind your party leader...
looking forward to trying to get yours and Harpers asses fired!!!!!!!

Scare tactic ...... nice goin' Hill!!!! Got any other stupid ideas up your sleeve?

"and then for a few months afterwards while whoever the new government is gets all squared away again gets up to speed.”

That should only happen if someone other than the Conservatives form that government.

Why don't you take a more positive approach? Such as,

"When the Conservatives form the majority government after the election, we will be able to go ahead with a much more extensive stimulus package which the opposition has denied us and threatened us with withdrawing their support in the house."

Wouldn't this be a good thing? If the recession is over as is claimed, why are we still deficit spending?

If the recession is over, all of this deficit spending is just putting into debt for no reason, and fanning the inflation that is soon to come.

surely we don't need an election now.
if we are coming out of this recession as all indicators say we are,then whoever is running the country can look good as things pick up. that's why iggi wants to become p.m. he figures the timing is right.
it has nothing to do with "what canadians want",it's what he wants.

Just a bunch of sabre rattleing.

It will be the same again. Who cares--it's our money.

Pure political BS from Jay.

The news today is that the Tories are planning on hiking EI premiums in order to pay off the deficit without technically raising taxes. I guess they think we're pretty stupid.

If there is anyone out there who believes that the "Depression" is over just because some stupid bureaucrat or politician says so, then they should admit themselves into a psychiatric ward. If this is believed for even a second it means they have lost their ability to think for themselves. To many people in today's world have lost the ability to think for themselves. They instead they wait for political, religious and spiritual leaders to tell them what to do and when to do it.....what kind of life is that? Do we honestly want to have our lives directed and controlled by someone else?????I guess it makes it easier for us to blame some one else for our misfortune. We get what we deserve when we give our vote (which is our voice and power) to someone else, giving them the ability do as they please with our vote and our voice.
There is a trust involved with this process, that trust, when betrayed needs to be reset or taken back. The sad part of the whole thing is that most people put up with it rather than taking it back. The only way to fix this kind of travesty is to take back your vote and give it to someone else to use for a while.....who knows...maybe they can make a positive difference.
I have to say that another election is the way to go right now, not just federally but provincially as well. Steven Heartless and Gordon Bin Laden have sucked our country and province into a blackness that it may never recover from regardless of who controls the power.
We can no longer call ourselves Canadians, we are governed and ruled by the US, and our provincial and federal governments are the entities that have sold us down the river.
Lets take back our votes and give someone else a chance to make a difference....we can't do much worse than what has already been done.

"If there is anyone out there who believes that the "Depression" is over just because some stupid bureaucrat or politician says so, then they should admit themselves into a psychiatric ward."

While I agree that people need to think for themselves more, this post was completely off the topic of the first sentence.

Care to share why you feel so strongly that the recession is ongoing and people are stupid to think otherwise?
