I agree - this A$$hole IS more than desperate. In fact he's a DESPERADO, A DESPOT, A DICKTATOR (sp intended) and we NEED RID of him and his CRIMINAL buddies.

I thank GOD that the CONSERVATIVES are ahead in B.C.!! And Americans ARE MY FRIENDS!! I drive around with a sticker stating that "I BELONG TO THE PRESIDENTIAL PRAYER TEAM"!!
I HATE these Lieberal b@astards!!

[Canadian Outrage]

Regardless, her message was right!!

[Canadian Outrage]

Your absolutely right. You see I don't watch ANY Canadian News - NONE. I will NOT listen to Government sponsored LIARS. Those who do appear to swallow everything that is spewed out at them. In doing so, they make themselves IGNORANT.

[BubbaBobTX]

I could show you a couple of dozen dirt roads between British Columbia and Washington State that you can make the round trip between countries unchallenged by either sides border patrol. I have done it numerous times on hunting trips and just to buy Canadian beer....I think the pass port idea is actually a good idea however especially down here along the Texas Mexican border where i now live.

[fanfan]

LOL!
So much yelling!

I know you are Canadian Outrage, but.....
The Liberal Party, and Paul Martin are going to be slinging crap at the Americans until January the 22nd.

If we loose this election we're doomed.

We have to win this election CO, cheer up, it's early yet.

:-)

Too bad the PM didn’t put more energy into getting justice for William Sampson. Martin’s attack on the US in a con. I just pray and hope the US Administration doesn’t get suckered into an ongoing debate. That will only work against Harper’s chances, since he is viewed as being to soft with the US (which is preposterous as Martin only talks tough, but has NEVER taken action on key issues such as softwood; it took advocacy from the CPC to get the beef ban raised in Montanan courts).

Canadians have a screwed up idea as to what leadership is. They think yelling about how much better you are than Americans is leadership. A government that cares about its people does more than grandstand for the cameras. It DOES something.

The Liberals are conning Canadians as well about the effects of the dollar. We will weather the storm of an appreciating currency? Our economy is the strongest of the G8? We will not adjust, not fast enough. 10 years of a currency advantage has been reversed in the course of 2 volatile years. Raising interest rates hasn’t helped either. There is a very good argument the Canadian dollar will go to par. That’s great for visiting Disneyland, but that will murder every export industry except perhaps oil. Our nation’s economy operates on a trade surplus – meaning we live or die on exports. End of story.

You are right, Martin managed to spin the history of this tiff as though the US started it. But it was Martin, out of the blue, chastising the US for Kyoto. What Martin would really love is an American endorsement of Stephen Harper. That would clinch the election for him. I am sure the Administration is too smart to get suckered into that. But even and endorsement from a well know conservative personality or news agency could be damaging.

I think we can all agree that Paul Martin and the Liberals
are a bunch of dickheads whose time is nearly up (thank God).

That said, what's the crap about the "failing Canadian economy"?
The Canadian economy has been humming along great for quite some time with
solid annual GDP growth, low unemployment and budget surpluses, trade surpluses an ever
stronger Canadian dollar.
3 - 4 years ago it cost me $1.60 CDN to buy $1.00 USD, now I can buy $1.00 USD
for $1.16 CDN
Actually the strong Canadian economy is our greatest weakness
in being able to kick out the Liberals as it's easier to switch
Gov't when the economy is in the tank.
Hopefully her other "facts" are more factual....

[Sam Gamgee]

I got to tell you I don’t think the economy is really all that great. It must be good somewhere because it sure is not here in BC. The only reason the BC economy is doing OK is an inflated housing market.

The strength of the Loonie has more to do with the high oil price, which I will admit, has created a hot economy in Alberta and northern BC.

[Canadian Outrage]

fanfan I KNOW we have to win. Martin is SO DIRTY tho. There is NOTHING that is beneath this man. He is willing to do ANYTHING. He has NO shame for being shown to be a THEIF. I just can't understand WHY folks would even consider voting for a proven theif, liar......etc. Can you??? Perhaps you understand the mentality of the people in the GTA and surrounding area. As another poster once said, the Martimes are like a crack whore - they will vote for whoever offers the biggest handout.

[Sam Gamgee]

I thought the polls showed the CPC behind in BC? I don’t know if I believe those polls though.

[Canadian Outrage]

Well they aren't conning you and me Sam!!

[Canadian Outrage]

The economy in REALITY is another great big lie. Why is Martin accusing and abusing our BIGGEST trading partner. The US could bring Canada to it's economic knees REAL FAST!!

[Canadian Outrage]

Not today. Locally it is one of the headlines that the Conservatives are in the lead in B.C.

[sausageseller]

"scores" was plural. Your diatribe is silly.

[Sam Gamgee]

Do you agree with me on the economy? This nonsense about “Tiger of the G8” sounds more like propaganda than reality. The forest and auto industries could barely keep their heads above water when the dollar was 1.30 to 1.60 to 1.00. How on earth will these industries do anything than crash and burn now that we are at 1.15? Our industries became lazy and inefficient, only making money due to a currency advantage. They are not going to get efficient in the course of 2 years. There is virtually no wage inflation in this country but plenty of inflation in foodstuffs. I’m not saying that this is not also the case in the US, but a stable wage and rising prices means we are poorer. Frankly I see Canada’s “hot” economy nothing more than a flying oil industry and home building.

[Alberta's Child]

Oil and gas are definitely big factors in the strength of the Loonie, but Canada's economy was even pretty strong back in the 1990s when oil was trading for about $12 a barrel.

B.C. is probably still recovering from the earlier days under the control of the NDP -- when it seemed like everyone in the province was moving to Alberta.

[CaptainCanada]

The US could bring Canada to it's economic knees REAL FAST!!

Yes, that's true - and if that were to occur our economy would be in
in the tank. But at the moment our ecomony is about as strong as ever has been.
So the news is that Martin is a Dickhead? Well, DUH...

[Alberta's Child]

You're focusing too much on north-south trade. One of the driving forces behind Canada's economic growth over the last 25 years -- particularly in western Canada -- has been Pacific Rim trade, not Canada-U.S. trade. One of the things that hasn't gotten a lot of attention in the softwood lumber dispute is the fact that the U.S. lumber industry -- even with a 30% tariff on Canadian lumber -- simply can't compete with its northern competitors when it comes to Asian trade.

[Tribune7]

LOLOLOL

[Sam Gamgee]

Canada’s economy was doing well in the 90s? I don’t know of too many corporation that weren’t hemorrhaging losses in the 1990s. I would say over the last few months oil has been the driving factor in the Loonie. Prior to that it was simply a function of the falling US dollar. Relatively I do agree that the US economy is weaker compared to Canada, than it was in comparison in the 1980s. That’s why I feel the US Dollar has far more to fall against the Loonie. Canada is far less dependent on manufactured consumer goods now that it was then. Our economy is far more diverse than then. And the US debt has grown much faster than our own.
