Craig Oliver is a perfect example…. too bad CTV didn't post up what Craig Alexander said.

What he said was complex and in technical terms but it was far from “hoopla”.

This global economic crisis has been totally blamed on the US sub-prime housing market and the global banks greed and bad practices in underwriting these loans. This seems plausible to explain the US situation, and the US has taken drastic steps to fix the problems caused by this situation.
For the last 5 years I have been reading that the EU, China, Russia have been replacing the US as the Financial world super power. Why is Europe in such a crisis?
Perhaps it is not as easy a problem as the sub-prime meltdown has indicated. What has been the over-riding Global topic/crisis for the last 5 years? Ans: Global warming and how to address it.
Lead by Gore and science, nuclear interest groups there has been a significant shift in how the world does business. Governments have put in arbitrary mechanisms disrupting the free market to change the world economic order… carbon taxes, carbon credits, curtailing successful industries and subsidizing poorly run “idea” and “theoretical” industries.
Canada has paid lip service to this global hysteria, but under Chretien, Martin and Harper’s leadership have not taken concrete steps to contribute to the theoretical solution. This has left Canada with the best economy / prosperity / employment in the world. Canada is an island of sanity in a world gone mad.
Now we have the possibility of joining the rest of the world. Like most of the other “responsible green nations” there is no real goal of saving the environment by stopping Global warming. This has been used as cover for various special interest groups: World Socialism (getting the rich nations to better support the poor), breaking the embargo on nuclear power and the self interest of riding to power on the back of the green populist movement.
Dion does not believe that the green shift will reduce Green house gases and stop global warming. His best argument is that if Canada gets on top of the pyramid scheme we will be able to profit from other countries blindly following into the Green war. He fell upon the Green shift, after years of looking for a gimmick to profit from the Green war a few months ago. Prior to his Green-shift shift he was against a carbon tax.
What he needed was a way to establish the central planning socialist government with the government providing all services to all people. The failure of communism in the USSR and the shifting of China’s economic model to capitalism as well as the realization that the similar agenda implemented in Canada by Trudeau almost bankrupted Canada has made this agenda political suicide (See the NDP).

It further says “Mr Harper promised Canadians some modest measures. Some of these were sensible. Others, such as the cut in the sales tax, were not.” So do you guys agree also that the GST cut was a bad idea, or is this a case of picking and choose what's convenient for you to agree with in someone's article?

And a note on a comment: “Until now, I had no idea that attacking the policies of a neighbouring country was the key to an opposition party's electoral success.”

Really? Maybe you should do a bit of research on a fairly recent 45-year period called the Cold War.
