Almost 2 months and Trudeau almost has us Broke!

Yup Trudeau is on a spending spree and we haven't heard what his carbon tax plans are yet. As for Harper I couldn't figure out why he ran such a lack lustre campaign I think you hit the nail on the head. He saw the economic shit show coming and bowed out.

So what interest rate does the Gov. pay on debt..Maybe its negative too..so they thinks who cares!!!

The question really to be asked is it prudent for any of them to say months before what they will do months ahead and then stay the course only to be able to say they did what they said theyd do? There are so many variables that change the circumstance on the world stage in a matter of days never mind months. What was right yesterday might not be right in a few days.

We were screwed even before the commies took over. They are only making the problems worse. The Canuckistanian economy had evolved under reckless Central bank money printing for almost a decade now (phony commodities boom) and the downside was not going to be pretty. What do you do? If you have the opportunity do you work harder and save for hard times just to have more of your savings haircut? Yeah the noise you hear is the fat lady singing. Its over.

No, actually its' the Alberta ND's fault that oil is at 37, (Saudi has nothing to do with it)Alberta was already in debt and Canada was already back to where it's highest debt point was before Martin and Chretien started the downward trend.....
We have it pretty damn tough here in Canada, think I better shut down my charity giving's too, ...thanks for setting my head straight....

They just doubled mortgage down payments.

Well it is not the NDP fault oil is at 37 but here is what they should be doing: Stop talking about climate change and carbon taxes. Stop subsidizing idiotic renewable energy projects like wind farms. We could introduce a general sales tax instead of carbon taxes. (Not in favor of more debt) Smaller government eliminating many useless programs. Stop talking about raising royalty rates so projects can be planned. Sell the new refinery and let the private sector finish it. Envision the NDP or the Libs doing any of this?

[riders2010]

Why wasn't any of that done when oil was 100 bucks?

The ND moves were all in place when Prentice called the election in May. PC/ND... were the same policies. Which is why Prentice tag teamed with Notley in the debate.

Only over 500k cotton. So you put 5% down on the first 500k and 10% beyond that amount. Tells you they are getting very worried about housing in the cities.
