    >>The founder of ON-SITE, who ran it under Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney, Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin, fought doggedly for its life. But Bill Armstrong eventually realized Ottawa's bean-counters were more interested in imposing their rules than getting young job seekers into the workforce.

    NOT AGAIN! HARPER AGAIN SAYS MY WAY OR NO WAY AT ALL?

    JOB CREATIONS? You are dreaming?

    FACE IT THE CONSERVATIVES ARE TOTALLY INCAPABLE OF IT TOO.. and anyone can cut THE budgets now too.

    THE ALBERTA PC HAVE FAILED AT IT IN ALBERTA IN DECADES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE NOT TO HAVE ALL THEIR EGGS IN ONE BASKET.. OIL & BEEF, TOURISM

    Over 25 years ago the very first time I went to the Alberta legislature to talk to a politician was to discuss how they were going about it to create jobs for the citizens, besides giving the taxpayer's money to their friends, relatives, and the career development minister and his representative admitted to me they were not doing anything about it. They said they were negotiating to get more money from Ottawa. And how does that create more jobs? and for WHOM STILL?

    Yes Canadian University graduates are having a hard time to find a job so Harper's great solutions is to let more immigrants into the country to get the jobs and how does this help? It gets the Conservatives political votes from the new immigrants hopefully?

    Truly the Conservatives are really no better than the Liberals we kicked out.
