Is Canada 'Centre Right' or "Centre Left" and won't admit it???

[tweety]

And now you know why there isn't a debate to decide government, just a vote.

Is every second topic going to be about which leader has a bigger dick? News flash, they all do.

[riders2010]

you mean which is a bigger dick??

[stonepicker]

Definitely a left leaning country to a point, i think there's still a large portion of people that prefer more conservative policy's ( silent majority?) and to all the Harper-phobyists, grow up! Harper is well respected internationally, we saw or felt very little effect from the 08 worldwide meltdown, the country is running smoothly while a lot of the world economies are stumbling. If canada is such a bad place according to a lot of angry-villers, why do so many people want to immigrate here? There's always room for improvement, but life is good in canada!

Things are so great here and that's why our dollar has collapsed

other leaders would surely be happy with another country's leader ,that sells it's own peoples interests, to their gain.

and how well would we have fared in the 08 meltdown if before it , the conservatives had run the show.

when the Cdn. banks wanted in to all the crap that sunk the US Banks .

Chreighton or Martin said no.
the conservatives were all for deregulation of the banks.

and Harper in opposition wanted Canada full in in the Iraq war.

because of not doing those 2 things
your dam right we fared a little better.
no thanks to the con.s

Our dollar hasn't collapsed, the u.s. dollar is abnormally strong. Our dollar has been a lot lower than this, it'll come back.a weaker can. dollar is better for grain exports, what are you actually complaining about?

If conservatives wanted the middle vote they should have ran a different leader.Did you not get my message Tom about 18 months ago.Now all you can hope is to flood a bunch of ads and propaganda out there to fool voters.

Harper's "bail in" legislation thrown quietly into the budget instead of overseeing and reigning in the banks. Then badgering us for a political donation-give me a break!

[oneoff]

OMG

The Canadian dollar hasn't collapsed according to the second last poster.

By any definition; the Canadian dollar has collapsed against the US dollar.

For those who have bought US goods, food and products lately; yes the Canadian dollar has collapsed.

And I; and all other Canadian consumers see a whole lot more US goods than any other country's product anyone would care to mention.

Geez; what logic

Newguy,

I thought like you at first... but history does not back up your theory.

Chretien Liberals thought Paul Martin was the answer... Mulroney conservatives thought Kim Campbell was the answer. Pierre Elliot went back to PM of Canada because leadership transitions are the toughest part of politics. Just ask the Liberals after Martin... that really worked out well for them! Ask Allison Redford and Jim Prentice in Alberta.

Talk is cheap. Leaders are special people who give up much... work hard for unusually sparse credit... and are disregarded by those who don't understand the talents needed to lead a nation of people.
