RE: How it all beganGreed, outright theft and personal debt ...got the world in this mess... not just one event ! When everone lives on a credit card what do you expect.
AND
marpincan...just maybe... we are lucky to have Harper in there running things ....can you imagine the gong show we would have with the NDP, or Liberals and Bloc running the show...(The three stoogies) you want to see business head for the hills... let the NDP in for a few minutes... look at every province before that let them run the show and then look at it after... they have been in power.
You want a real example just look at Lloydminster ...Alberta side business booming... Saskatchewan side dead as a door nail...hopefully with the new government in Saskatchewan that will change.
And the Liberals they still haven't answered to Canadians for the 26 million+ they stole from the taxpayers during the sponsorship scandle, or the cost over runs for the Gun Registry ... orignial est 11 million... final bill over a billion+ who knows the final cost... we never did get a full accounting and it still doesn't work!!
Or the Liberals like Trudeau that ran us so bad into debt during the 70's and 80's the IMF was weeks away from stepping in to run our affairs...or the EI scandle or the Helicopter scandle..etc. People forget what the Liberals have done way too quick. They thinks that Paul Martin was such the genius... heck during the last 5-7 years the world was spending like no tommorrow ...a monkey could have made the ecomomy look good.
And one more point the Conservatives were they only ones that said they would cut taxes and did ...the Liberals said they would get rid of the GST did they...NO!
But I see the Canadian Banks retaining their Dividends and still making very nice profits so I am adding and holding now.
Cheers
