Corporate tax cuts leading to job growth? You vote NDP but your economics are pretty misguided. Corporate tax cuts goes straight to shareholder profits -- in fact, corporations are sitting on billions of dollars in savings right now, and are not willing to spend their money in generating jobs. Tell that to Alberta. No provincial deficit. | ||

We'll see changes, but these political changes are like drops of water. It takes a very long time before they amount to anything good or threatening. What I'm most afraid of is changes to regulation that might cause a negative impact in many years. It's also possible that the government will have very little impact on our future, but who can say. What I meant was, if he doesn't feel like he belongs here, he could simply leave. | ||

Time for the left to unite. It is absolutely disgusting that country that overwhelming votes Left is ruled by the Right. BTW, Cretien's last mandate was 40% of the vote share, just like Harper's share today. That's the norm in a more than 2 party system. | ||

I tend to agree to an extent-- the rise of the NDP and the general amount of grass roots organization that's happening is indicative of parallel organizations being created and an emerging consciousness that didn't exist before. But this takes a long time | ||

Hope they never come back, the Bloc made majority that much harder to attain by draining seats away from the other parties, and though their policies weren't all that bad, they're obsession with making Quebec a new nation was getting tiring...and apparently Quebeckers agree! You should get banned from canada for this. Quebec has its own vision for politics and the ONLY reason they lost so bad is because of the forced elections. People were afraid of having to deal with a minority government again but the bloc is far from useless. Even though the bloc would never rule, it would still represent quebecs ideologies at the parliament and bring political equity. | ||

Which is ridiculous considering theres more oil in Alberta than in most middle eastern countries... not that we should be extracting it, but thats another issue. | ||

It's stupid how little states like Texas and Alberta have some smug sense of self-entitlement because they lucked out to being endowed with oil reserves by nature. It'll be funny how screwed they'll be because the government is completely irresponsible with how they are managing the revenues from the oil reserves, compared to countries like Norway, which actually save the money for the future. Alberta just uses all its revenues for immediate tax cuts and government spending, thinking that the oil will last forever.
