Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff says the Conservatives have made a “mess” of Canada's economy and that his party will be the one to clean it up.

………………………………

From a guest at the speech:
The Star headline nails it: LIBERALS WILL CLEAN UP ECONOMIC MESS.

Place was so crowded, folks were shoe-horned in there like firewood. Packed to the rafters.

One Toronto Bay Street guy to me, as he left: “Sounded like a Prime Minister, today. We need one right now.”

the guset was WK…..your worst nightmare!!!!

The Canadian Press

OTTAWA — The Conservative government is spending more than five times as many taxpayer dollars on promoting its economic plan as it is on raising public awareness about the flu pandemic.

And that's once again raising a long-standing question: when does government advertising cross the line into partisan boosterism?

Television viewers may have noticed the latest feel-good government ads about stimulus spending, including the Conservative-friendly, anti-election pitch: “We can't stop now,” and “We have to stay on track.”

All the ads direct viewers to a Tory-blue government web site that includes more than 40 different photos of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and refers repeatedly to “the Harper government” — apparently in direct contravention of Treasury Board communications policy.

Canada under the liberal party and U.S. relations was strained and snubbed

I never said the media was giving Harper “great” press coverage, though I do not accept the whole “MSM bias against the CPC” conspiracy theory so many people around here have latched on to.

What Ted did was ask for some evidence that the “MSM” and an liberal MP were claiming Harper had been snubbed.

You people like to work yourselves into a lather of outrage at the MSM. Maybe instead you should take a step back and actually read it or watch it. It might preserve your health.

The At Issue segment airs again today. Mansbridge, Hebert, Gregg, and Coyne all nodded in agreement when Hevert said the PM was snubbed. Petty called it a developing story, and went on 5to question Canada-U.S. relations because of the supposed snub.

I'm sure there are more. Those are the ones I myself have seen.m

I'm in the hills of Tuscany and don't give a rat's a$$ about stenches.
