If Martin's Liberal Party is re-elected for the fourth consecutive time, Canadian taxpayers will continue footing the bill for an expensive welfare state epitomized by its archaic government-run health-care system. Social policy experimentation on issues such as drugs and homosexual rights will continue in an incremental but decidedly progressive direction.
What will happen if Mr. Harper's Conservatives win? Most important, Canada will have its first leader in living memory who actually believes Big Government is a real problem. A Prime Minister Harper may not be able to pass all the legislation he wants, but he would push to cut taxes and spending and the regulatory burden on Canada's business sector.
The Liberals count on their overblown reputation for sound economic stewardship over the last decade to carry them across finish line in first place. In addition, a close race will undoubtedly feature much negative advertising. This pretty much guarantees the Liberals will use the nationalism card against the Conservatives. In practice, this means crude anti-American rhetoric to appeal to undecided electors of the vote-rich province of Ontario -- the same voters who decided the last election, 17 months ago, following a Liberal campaign that successfully tarred Mr. Harper as "too pro-American."

Hmmm, I wonder, if this guy is such buddies with Bush, were in big trouble. We'll be involved in wars that we cannot win, Iran is next!!!! Then on to Syria!! Hop on to the Bush bandwagon of death and destruction.
And it was all for a lie, there were no WMDs in Iraq, no links of Saddam to the 9/11 attacks. It was all for nothing (oil).
You know, what else is missing? An admission by Mr. Bush that he was wrong, that he made a mistake, that he is withdrawing the troops. Nope, we must "Stay the course" even though not one reason for invading Iraq turned out to be true. But watch out, Iran has nukes!!! The U.S. won't fall for that old trick again will they?? Of course they will.
We don't need this nonsense in Canada. What did becoming buddies with Bush get Tony Blair? An approval rating as low as Bush's and a false flag terror attack much like the U.S. got on 9/11.
Do we want that here?? Do we want a government sponsored terror attack here as well to justify the bogus "war on terror"? No way, the time is now to derail the conservative pain train, or our future will be as bleak as the Americans.
The "Canadian Forces". What a joke. We can't even patrol our own borders for crissakes. Just ask the Danes.
Good grief man. If all the wasted millions isn't enough to convince Ontario to end single-party rule, perhaps the giant nonsense quoted above will be?
btw: The "bleak" American future is one of a strong economy with almost full employment. It has consistently proven to be the most affluent society in the history of all civilizations. It is the engine of the world's economy and the standard by which all others are measured.
And, as expected, this immediately becomes a partisan debate while you miss the whole point. So we can now get into the pointless debates typical of the Liberal and Conservative parties and accomplish nothing. Like the liberals would ever have the guts to say what I did.
Oh well, I guess if I did have to choose between a government that steels from me or a government that stages a terrorist attack to drag me into the bogus "war on terror", I'd be more inclined to choose the government that steals from me.
However, at least the Canadian Action Party is willing to look at what is going on south of the border logically and deciding that we probably don't want what is going on down there to be going on up here.
"The "bleak" American future is one of a strong economy with almost full employment"
Tell that to the generations of future Americans that get to pay off the massive debt caused by the bogus war on terror.
"It is the engine of the world's economy and the standard by which all others are measured."
Not any more, China is the economic powerhouse, and the Euro is becoming the currency of choice.
