Someone Thinks It's Brilliant!

That's what the experts say, and we know how the media uses lefty experts all the time to disagree with Conservative policies, so how did it go this time?

First the policy. Harper announces new parental leave program

Self-employed Canadians will have access to a new parental leave program if the Conservatives are re-elected, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Monday. The initiative targets more than 2.6 million Canadians who work for themselves but the party is aiming the program specifically at female entrepreneurs.


Now, one Liberal hack, and two experts.



Seems the experts agree that it's brilliant. I do too.

It's a small change that will potentially affect millions of self employed individuals, not just women.

What is impressing me the most is that Conservatives are proposing family friendly, low cost policies while the Liberals and NDP are promising the sky and being totally irresponsible with taxpayers money.

If the green shift is going to generate 18 Billion in revenue FOR the government, where is that 18 Billion coming from? Let's say it's the big polluters who are going to pay. Who are they? Taxpayers.

The government produces nothing. Let me repeat that, the government produces nothing. They generate revenue by taxation. Who do they tax? Us.

The big bad oil producer gets their money from...us. The taxes they pay come from...us.

It's time for us to say enough is enough. To take a favorite phrase from the feminists and change it a bit.

It's our money, and our choice! Vote wisely.

This is from the poll on CFAX radio in victoria. what is interesting is the number of votes so far (unscientific of course) usually only around 200-250 but today it is over 600.

Polls

If the federal election was being held today which party's candidate would you vote for in your riding?
Answer Votes %
Conservative 326 52%
Liberal 87 14%
New Democrat 133 21%
Green 36 6%
none above 39 6%
Total: 621 100%

Victoria has 1 CPC (Lunn) 1 Lib (Keith Martin) and 1 NDP

Hunter, you did a great job with your Danny intimidation threat, congrats.
But just occured to me,
I did not hear a thing about Dion 'reversing' PMSHs equalization policy.
Surely that would have been a HUGE annoucement, with Danny at his side.

Jack said he would honor Martin's promise,
Danny figures $10 Billion,
Jack figures $400 Million.

It was a Liberal promise (after Danny lowered the flag) from Paul Martin.
So where's the outrage at Dion, from Danny?

LOL
I sent my comment, and then Dion announces he will honor the Atlantic Accord.
Now he and Danny have to fight out 'howmuch'.
Then he has to tell McGuinty why Ontario will pay for it.

Oh, this is a reversal of Dion's position.
