You really want to believe that.  It is a party with literature that reads like the Communist Manifesto that currently declares itself to be nothing less than a socialist party.  However it is led by an opportunist with no principles who says whatever he thinks he needs to say to get elected.

The provincial education tax on new assessments and inflationary assessment increases within the zone certainly does go to the billionaire instead of the kids. Here's a City of Edmonton website...

That $ 240 million Community Revitalization Levy - property tax that the city/province could use for other projects.  The local and provincial property tax on new projects in the neighborhood go to fund the project as if it were found money.  To use Edmonton as an example.  Instead of school tax...

An interesting National Post column. http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/colby-cosh-if-theres-a-scandal-in-the-duffy-affair-why-cant-i-spot-it

You mean the drug dealers are going to give up their profits?  Probably just like the Indians give up their profits on cigarettes.

Wynne is ticked off at Harper for not endorsing her very own slush fund.  I'm thinking that she is trying to cure the chronic deficit with her Ontario Pension Plan.  If it is like the CPP, the cash goes in the bank as revenue but the pension liability is not recorded as a liability.  The federal...

54 apologies not enough?  Apologizing for actions taken before a person is born is nothing but stupid.  We have 5,000 years of apologies to catch up on.  That's a lot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_war_apology_statements_issued_by_Japan

Going by the history of the last 50 years, the biggest slashes in military strength came under Liberals Trudeau and Chretien.  The biggest increase came under Conservative Harper and under Conservative Mulroney, it stood steady if I remember correctly.  The Liberals seem to have been more...

Maggie more than makes up for Pierre's quality parenting.  People I've known with Maggie's affliction tend to keep everyone uneasy.  Dysfunctional to the nth degree.

Two things: I suspect there is zero chance that if the Conservatives get the most seats and are defeated in Parliament that the opposition will be asked to form a government.  I would assume the Governor General will do what is asked of him by the Prime Minister and that would be to call for...

Understood but do any bank clerks even make under $ 15 per hour?  Mind you, I live in Alberta where the only people working for less than $ 15 are imports from the third world.

Fox is the largest news network in the US by far.  It's agenda must be appealing to at least the lowest common denominator.  http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/08/05/cable-news-ratings-for-tuesday-august-4-2015/442995/ I don't know who in the federal jurisdiction would pay less than $ 15...

I'll play.  Then what is it?

How is it possible to find people to criticize the effectiveness of a home renovation tax credit?  On principle I object to the potpourri of tax credits but construction is the best thing to subsidize and the classical thing for stimulus spending.  The vast majority of construction dollars are...

Weak loonie?  Isn't that what Shiny Pony and Angry Tom wanted to cure Dutch disease?  Ontario's economy only seems to work well with a 62 cent dollar.  Every economy in the world is doing a dive for the bottom and we are winning.  They all seem to be looking for economic stimulus brought on by...

The last person to physically have guns in the streets was Mr. Fuddle Duddle in 1970.

Guns in the streets?  That was Shiny Pony's dad.

And 47 % of statistics are made up on the spot.

The ads sure seem to be working.  I suspect many young people will figure out the ads are more about Trudeau's Bozo eruptions than anything else.  The "growing up to do" comment is because saying "the guy's a moron" might be too negative.

The opposition will have enough money to run a reasonably effective campaign this time.  They will have a problem in the election 6 months down the road.  The stupidest thing the Liberals could do is to attempt to put the NDP in power.  Once the NDP are in power, there is no more Liberal Party.
