Belated Congrats Conservative party and PM Harper (I still love saying that!). Five years in a minority government and still kicking (Can I say kick or is that too violent?). My prediction is that we will not have an election this year, so it will be five plus 1. Then the Conservatives will get their majority giving them 4 years to get things done, leading us to 5 plus 1 plus 4 = 10.
To see PM Harper's speech go here to CTV. Ignore the comments, lefties are Harper Haters. It's as disgusting as the lefties blaming Sarah and the Tea Party for a deranged man shooting and killing people at a political rally. Rational is not a term lefties understand, I dare not mention common sense!
If the Conservatives get a majority what would we see?
The end of the long gun registry (hello lefties, not a big surprise and the reason many lefty MP's are going to lose their seats!).
An elected Senate. (What's so scary about that?).
The demise of the CWB monopoly (thank goodness. How stupid is it that western farmers are forced to sell their grain to the CWB while eastern farmers can sell their grains to anyone they want?)
More criminals behind bars for longer, (It's about time, and don't believe the lefty propaganda that crime is decreasing.) My husbands truck (yes we are rednecks, and proud of it!) was broken into, we reported it and the police just said call your insurance company, no formal report was written, so it doesn't appear in StatsCan data. I'm pretty sure we aren't the only ones this has happened to.
5 plus 1 plus 4 = 10 (at least) years that the Conservatives will be in power. Suck it up lefties. You want a cleaner environment? Go to China, they need help cleaning up their pollution. You want to give women in third world countries the abortion option? Go over there and help that goal come true, but don't expect me to pay for it. Learn to raise your own funds, don't come running to the government for your grants and entitlements, taxpayers are sick of everyone with outstretched hands and no results.
What would you like to see done for Canadians, in the next 5 years of Conservative government? What is your priority?
I want a reduction of the deficit and debt. Interest rates are only going up, so we need to manage our debt, and that includes provinces, municipalities and hospitals.

50 Billion, Why Does That Sound Familiar?
Something about Liberals and spending EI funds to pay down the deficit....Oh right the Supreme Court ruled on that.
Now the Liberals are upset about a deficit that is being caused by a world wide recession? This, after they tried to form a coalition government so they could be in control of the spending with the NDP and Bloc?
Chretien raided the EI funds during boom times, 54 billion to be exact. Now in a recession, the Conservative government is spending money on roads and bridges, they are offering unemployed workers the ability to retrain and gain skills, they have a home reno program, all programs aimed at helping Canadians.
Well that's Liberals for you, stealing from hard working Canadians (where is that 40 million that went into the Liberal party coffers?), to gain votes.
They are trying it again, fire Flaherty they scream (read the comments, noone is buying it), he is the bad guy they shout, an increased deficit they moan.....DEFICIT! They know Conservatives hate deficits and debt. They know deficit is a dirty word to anyone who is fiscally conservative/liberal, but they fail to understand that a recession changes perceptions.
Run a deficit in good times like the Liberals did until Reform and the IMF clued them in, not a good thing. Run a deficit in bad times, and make no mistake, the media has been telling us this recession is worse than the Great Depression, and people will shrug.
The media is now the Liberals worse enemy, they pumped up the recession so much that Canadians now believe that big spending is necessary. Canadians have seen what Obama is spending in the US, so 34 or 50 or 80 billion spent by Canada just doesn't feel big, after all the US are talking 1.2 TRILLION.
Funny how CTV never covers question period live, but today they were right there covering the first three Liberal questions. Bet the Liberals phoned up their pals in the media and told them they were going to call for Flaherty's head. Too bad that PM Harper made Iggy look like an idiot. How does Iggy respond? He reverts to his American background and calls PM Harper....Nixon? Too funny. Iggy go home to Obama, he has some shoes that need to be shined....oh wait...Iggy was a big Bush supporter, no wonder he is up here now after 34 years. I suspect if you really did the math, Iggy was probably out of the country for more than 45 years of his live, but who's counting?
The Supreme Court of Canada says that Ottawa illegally collected employment insurance contributions for three years under the former Liberal government.
The court, though, rejected union claims that Ottawa diverted money from deliberately-over-inflated EI surpluses to balance the federal budget and fund programs.
In a 7-0 decision, the court ruled EI premiums were inappropriately collected between 2002, 2003, and 2005. That's when the Liberal cabinet set EI rates directly without the authorization from Parliament and the employment insurance commission, a violation of the principle of no taxation without representation.
"This means that employment insurance premiums were collected unlawfully, without the necessary legislative authorization," Justice Louis LeBel wrote in the decision.

Now in a recession, the Conservative government is spending money on roads and bridges, they are offering unemployed workers the ability to retrain and gain skills, they have a home reno program, all programs aimed at helping Canadians.
The debate over how EI premiums could be used began in the 1990s, when Paul Martin, then-prime minister Jean Chretien's finance minister, brought in new EI legislation.
New rules made it more difficult for laid off workers to be eligible for benefits, but they also brought in new training programs.
Critics had argued the government was raising EI premiums to fund the new programs, while cutting benefits for those out of work.

Dion And "Easy Money"!
Well, the Conservatives have fired the first salvo by costing Dion's promises.
Dion's lack of priorities will plunge Canada into deficit
A Stéphane Dion Liberal government would immediately push Canada back into deficit and rack up at least $62.5 billion in new debt.
That is the conclusion of a Conservative Party report which documents the major spending commitments made by Stéphane Dion and the Liberal Party since the 2006 federal election. The costing report reveals that, over the next four years, Stéphane Dion’s lack of priorities will, at a bare minimum, plunge Canada $62.5 billion deeper into debt.
“Stéphane Dion is a weak leader whose lack of priorities will cost everyone in the form of more debt,” said Conservative MP Jim Prentice. “Canadians will need to decide if he is really worth the risk.”
Someone is flexing their muscles, and it's sure not Dion and the Liberals, they are too busy walking out of votes, and sitting on their hands.
