I know this is all fun for some, but we are talking about almost 3 years of chipping away at our democracy."<BR/><BR/>He is doing a smaller version, because we are a smaller country, of what Bush & Cheney have done to the U.S. And in their 8 year power trip they have done a lot of damage & taken away a lot of rights with their Fisa, spying on the people, wiretapping, etc. That's just a miniscule part of the many things that have been changed there. Again, they are strong supporters of big oil & big business as is our PM. They basically sneered at anything democratic - as is Harper. Working with the other parties is a non-existent conception in the Cons way of doing things. It's authoritarian, totalitarian. Just like Steve's telling Dion he has to agree completely with the Con agenda or he's going to an election.<BR/><BR/>The gall of this man is astonishing & I hope it ALL comes out in the campaign. The Libs have to push - & push hard.penlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830912393649649485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-91664017185076920372008-09-01T21:42:00.000-04:002008-09-01T21:42:00.000-04:00THE EMP-ERROR IS PISSED!!! martaTHE EMP-ERROR IS PISSED!!! <BR/><BR/><BR/>martaDamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548065189088501935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-84786455173167197482008-09-01T21:41:00.000-04:002008-09-01T21:41:00.000-04:00Anon is an idiot' on, to think the price of fuel a...Anon is an idiot' on, to think the price of fuel and especially diesel fuel will not continue to rise astronomically is absurd. The price of gas has risen how much in the last two and half years, since Steven Harper cheated his way into a minority government. Oil companies are out to make huge profits, period! The "Green Shift Plan" is simple, tax the things you don't want like pollution and fossil fuels that create pollution, and use that money to give a huge tax break for the people who can't afford the increased cost of living! The various industries will in turn adapt to selling more fuel efficient vehicles and the industries that rely on those fossil fuels will make changes to how they conduct their operations, i.e. truck drivers using bio diesel that possibly could be bulk bought and sold to operators, or they the trucker, farmers, fishermen could be subsidized or given more of a tax advantage by a Liberal government. The fact remains that the world is in agreement on, even the United States, NO MORE BUSINESS AS USUAL FROM OUR GOVERNMENT! Today I spent time making my own "VOTE LIBERAL" signs for my neighbourhood, and I am going to donate another hundred dollars as well.

There will be some die hard Liberals who will vote for Dion (mostly in downtown Toronto), but the rest - who care about the cost of their [transported] goods will not go for higher prices on everything.<BR/><BR/>As for Dion's English, I take it you haven't seen him unscripted lately - he looks like a blabbering, bumbling bookish nerd. <BR/><BR/>Easy Harper majority.<BR/><BR/>Dion knows this, which is why he's been publicly humiliating himself in begging to hold off on an election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-35834738166590748332008-09-01T20:21:00.000-04:002008-09-01T20:21:00.000-04:00Dion looked good today.
