Federal election, a NDP win might be a good thing?

People will open their eyes. There is still a lot of time left. I am not concerned for the final result. The communist bandwagon is shaky, and is going to blow apart.

If the media was even halfway honest, it would happen that much faster.

Googled few sites they show seven deficits in a row. Harper was PM when they happened, Harper is responsible for them.

Harper could have forced an election if he didn't agree to the oppositions proposals of running large deficits, but he enjoyed the power of being PM to much and went along with them.

No excuse, in this case shit runs up hill.

I'm voting Liberal anyways.

I am going ndp but it's a protest vote.

Anderson does nothing. ****ing guy calls when I am combining thinking I am going to run into town to talk to him. With rain in the forecast. Ignorant prick.

Couldn't give a days notice. Can't even plan his campaign to talk to constituents that call occasionally.

...and I found websites that say Bigfoot exists and space aliens abducted somebody's mother.

Doesn't make it true.

Forage my support for the conservatives has never wavered. They have not been right 100% of the time but I believe in less government, in this election the only party who is not promising tax increases and more government is the Conservatives. Both the NDP and the Greens are promising no new pipelines and increasing corporate tax. The greens are going to raise the rate to 19%, add Alberta's 12% that is 31%, even in Norway the corporate tax is only 27%. In Mulcair's interview he called the GST a regressive tax showing he has no understanding of sound tax policy. A sales tax does the least economic damage. Raising corporate taxes does the most. I hope if people vote for change they go Liberal but I fear their policy flip flops of late may have hurt their chances.

Not sure what more needs to be said, the blame game can only be used so many times before everybody realizes that someone has to be held responsible for THEIR own actions.

Canada is doomed either way so might as well elect the NDP and get it over with. No way any politician will deal with the real problems which include: equalization, highly overpaid civil service, rail monopoly in the west, and getting the energy east pipeline built telling Quebecers that the transfer payments dry up without it.

I can see your point, as from what I have gathered here on Agriville you have put a lot of effort into contacting various MP's regarding RRs and infrastructure.

Right and everyone passes the buck..

Here are some comments.

1. We can't tell private businesses what to do. ( but they could tell BHP to **** off)

2. Eyebrow elevator should have never been built there. ( but it was and it should be used)

3. Use the market. (The canadian grain exchange is not functional)

Etc etc.

I don't know what our farm lobby groups do but they seem to be on the same page as this government. Liquid lunches I guess.

A bad drought this year and no talk of ag issues. Not even anyone talking about the massive improvement in farming to prevent dust blowing all over. What farmers have done for the environment should be rewarded not ignored.

X 2 bucket, Ag does NOT exist, 2% of pop so we are NOT needed. Guess nobody eats or works in ag related industry that feeds off farmers? Or as said all are in on the liquid lunches. I like the infrastructure plan IF it includes Rail and highways and rural internet.
