Oh Scandinavia

Why did you let yourself go from your glory days of raiding and pillaging, bringing fear into the hearts of everyone, into being too scared to enter certain parts of your own country?

Falling for Keynesian

The trend in this current recession seams to be to apply a Keynesian form of governance like the initial bailout, big three bailout and the Conservative’s plan to go into deficit to “save the economy”, these are tragic occurrences. I believe that most democratic governments would not make the mistake of assuming Keynesian worked, but are forced into following its path by misinformed voters who demand some sort of action. The fact is Keynesian does not help the economy. FDR a Keynesian applied this theory to the Great Depression through various government programs and it did nothing, some economists say it even went so far as to extend the Great Depression. For people who truly believe that more government spending will help watch this video, it may change your mind (people who agree with me watch it just because it's a good video).

Slashing Public Funding

Conservatives plan to cut public funding of federal parties. My first reaction was jubilation but my second is why was this allowed in the first place? I don't care if Bob Rae think it is un-democratic to cut spending (although it appears a majority disagree with him). I believe this is completely democratic the government should not be using taxpayer money to support itself. They should get their support from the grass roots, that way when a party is not supported it does not stay alive. That is Democracy.

Of Plants and Swiss

You know something is wrong with the world when this happens. I honestly never thought I would post a topic about plant’s feelings. Guess I was wrong. At least when you talk about Canadian politics you aren't supprised by anything the Liberals/NDP will do to stop a conervative majority.

English Debate

I guess this is a live blog, this is my first attempt and thus might be a little weird. My first impression is that all the leaders have done exactely what I expected. Stephan Dion says Harper is lying. Jack Layton tries to be the cool dude who will protect you from the Conservatives and Liberals. Gilles Duceppe gets all his information from Quebec yet knows everything about Canada. Elizbabeth May thinks all the answers are found in Europe. Steven Harper some how is keeping his cool while everyone else calls him a liar. So the debate ends up being Harper vs everyone else.

After watching the whole debate I have come to the conclusion that if Dion is ever voted in I will buy some land and create my own country. For some reason he has come to the conclusion that he would be a better manager of our money then we are. Then he decided to get mad at Harper for trying to give the Wheat Board competition and while he did all this he still managed to call Steven Harper a liar in almost every sentance.
