conservatives

I came across a couple of articles which expose downright silliness (if you believe the authors to be correct) with the Conservative’s economic plan.

Before Canadians sit down and really think about who they want to be the next Prime Minister, a good exercise for everyone to do is answer the question, “Does Stephen Harper deserve to have a majority government?

I’ve been trying to find some interesting Canadian political blogs so I can try and catch up on the skinny for the upcoming election (I’m wading through a lot of links and surprised at how many blogs haven’t been updated since 2007).

There’s a lot of talk about an early election this fall in Vancouver. Harper says the current government is unworkable and ineffective, and therefore an election is needed.

It looks like the Conservatives are hell-bent on proving that there are only two things that matter: pushing a conservative social agenda and giving in on ideals as long as they benefit politically.

According to John Gomery, the new government hasn’t acted on any of the recommendations given in his report. A CBC news article also tells of how the only thing to come of the inquiry is the federal accountabilities act, and this was legislation prepared before his report was even released.

Leading up to the 2006 Federal Election, I wrote this post on Canadian Values which discussed what many consider to be a darker aspect of the Conservative Party.

That’s the kind of title you may expect to see in a few years. At least, that is what some people think.

Could someone please fill me in on the US-Canada softwood deal? I just read something in the paper and it sounds like the deal could be dead.

Apparently the ethics commissioner said today that he found nothing unethical in the actions of Emerson and Harper, in regards to Emerson’s party switching.
