Both Harper and Dion face greater risks than their rhetoric suggests (Nanos Sun Column) (2008-07-21)

• It is really the Green Shaft Plan as it will shaft the people of western Canada and the Maritimes as well as people in the north and in rural Canada. It is a...
• Right on!
• It is not clear why Dion abandoned the Kyoto Agreement. He was hounding Harper to stick to the 2012 goals and then he refuses to set any goals for his Green ...
• The Green Shaft Plan is a Tax Grab Plan and will do little to reduce GHG. Dion has abandoned the Kyoto Agreement he insisted Harper follow and has not set an...
• Typical Liberal mud slinging rhetoric.
• The really sad thing to note is that Dion on many occasions said he would not introduce a carbon tax and that he would be the "best friend Alberta ever had"....
• There is a transfer of wealth policy in place now; it is called equalization. Why add another one?
• LOL.
• Lawrence Martin is a Conservative hater. Very convenient for Liberals to quote him. I suspect he sees himself as non partisan but his anti Conservative rants...
• Name 5 policies of the "far right AGENDA".
• The Provinces do not want "strings" attached to equalization payments. The Liberals attached no conditions and the Conservatives are doing the same. Hardly a...
• WOW, the "secret agenda" again. I wondered how long it would be before the Liberals pulled that out of their hat again! Well, if you think the Conservatives...
• "Ontario has moved toward privatizing health care, roads and education". What more can you expect from the McGuinty Liberal government with a secret agenda? ...
• This was much like the Liberals promising to reduce the GST from 7% to 0%, and to eliminate NAFTA! They did the opposite. There has been a dearth of integrit...
• The biggest flip flop was the Liberal election promise to reduce the GST to 0%. What a deception!!
• Agreed. It is voters with no intellect. By the way, we have been hearing about Libs pulling ahead for the last two years; it doesn't happen.
• Parnel, your predictions over the past year have been completely wrong.They will be wrong again.
• Great Liberal spin Parnel! They promised to cancel the GST and NAFTA and never intended to. Even Sheil Copps was p d off. They deceived the voting public ...

Liberal Green Shift - High Risk and Potentially High Reward (Video Blog Post) (2008-06-23)

• This Plan is not correctly called the Green Shift. It should be called the Green Shaft.
• Surely people aren't dumb enough to believe in a neutral tax. This Green Shaft Plan may be revenue neutral to the Federal Government but it will be far from...
• I didn't say anything about the west. It is the entire country that would be shafted.
• The West is booming. No recession here! However, there will be if the Green Shaft Plan is ever implemented.
• Your "lines of thinking" are too partisan to reply to.
• It will not be revenue neutral for people in the north. Period.
• The Green Shaft Plan will screw the west again just as the Liberal NEP did. It will result in a massive shift of wealth from the west to the east. Easterners...
• Why has Dion abandoned the Kyoto Agreement? The Green Shaft Plan will not result in meeting the 2012 targets for GHG reductions.
• The NEP screwed Alberta (learn your Alberta history) and the Green Shaft Plan will do the same again. "When Albertans realize how far down the river they h...
• Please check some of your "facts". When was the NEP introduced? When were royalties last raised in Alberta? Who cancelled the NEP? (yes it was cancelled). Ch...
• Spoken like a true easterner. "Send us money". Shame on you, earn your own wealth.
• Why has Dion introduced a Plan that will not meet the 2012 targets of 6% reduction from the 1990 levels of GHG emissions? He was insisting the Conservatives ...
• Utter nonsense!!
• Your buddy Chretien did nothing for 13 years. He never intended to control GHGs and signed an agreement for political purposes only!
• There is a coming recession that is going to impact all of Canada, Alberta's water is going to disappear and you think the NEP is still in effect. You are so...
• Mulroney cancelled the NEP during his first term in office. You should have known this fact.
• More hopeless information coming from you. The NEP was introduced on October 28, 1980 as part of the first Liberal budget after the 1980 election not Dec 6, ...
• Horse manure. The Liberal were committed to Kyoto for 13 years and did NOTHING. Even they now admit that.

The Bernier Resignation - Is it more than political "eye candy"? (Video Blog Post) (2008-05-30)

• The reason Harper is rated much above Dion in Leadership and Competence is because Dion is so inept. Sad to say but the bar is not very high. As I said, Dion...

• It will blow over quickly and not be an issue by July!!!!

• I agree, TWO TRICKS are better than the one. That should get him elected!

• Liberals will make many claims of influencing the budget content if they cower and vote for the budget bill. They always use this tactic to justify sitting o...
• Smart political tactics much like the tactics of Chretien using omnibus bills. All parties, if they are smart, use this tactic from time to time.
• You just didn't like the answer.
• Its late. Go to Bed.
• Yes. Let's bring the government down on Monday night and have an election! Will the Liberals chicken out again? Stay tuned.
• And the Liberals cant move up in the polls with Dion. What gives?
• The Tories will be hit hard and the Liberals will finally suck it up and bring the government down on Monday night. Bring on the election.
• You, as well, judged a man on his looks when you were demeaning and called the Finance Minister a midget or something equally insulting because of his height...

Leadership Tracking - Harper personal image untouched by controversy (Analysis with video) (2008-05-09)

• Stevie Dion is rated a poor leader everytime a poll is conducted. Harper is clearly more competent and is a decisive leader.l
• The only support that will fall like a rock will be Liberal support on the heels of a proposed carbon tax. Dion wants $2.00 a lt. gasoline--that should be a ...
• This is very good news for the Conservaitves in the aftermath of intense Liberal mudslinging. The Liberals are devoid of new ideas except a carbon tax on gas...
• The undecided voters will undoubtedly swing to the Conservatives when voters have to pick a decisive leader. Dion is not a leader!!
• Harper IS "running away with things"! First in Vision, first in Trustworthiness, first in Competence. Not bad given the Liberal slander tactics.
• Agree! No tax is "revenue neutral" and the public knows this from past experience. They won't be fooled again!
• Your response is a perfect example of Liberal mudslinging and slander. Surely you must have more to contribute to a discussion than slanderous innuendo.
• "his midget FM". SHAME ON YOU !! More Liberal LOW LEVEL insults about a persons physical stature. How perfect are you Parnel? Do the Liberals ever stop wit...
• I hope you're right! The demise of the anti western Canada Wheat Board, Canada Post and CBC Pravda can't come soon enough,
• The Wheat Board applies only to Western farmers not Canadian farmers. Let's include ALL farmers if it is so good. Don't hear easterners asking for it!
• "Human progress" for easterners who do not have to deal with a Wheat Board. (those are the facts) Let's be fair and apply the Wheat Board to ALL Canadian fa...
• Yeah, but the public rates him as a very good leader, much more so than Steve Dion.
• Toronto Star poll: Conservatives 34%, Liberals 27%!! The Tories are sure losing ground.
• You would undoubtedly agree then to extend the Wheat Board jurisdiction to all of Canada not just the west. Thanks for the support.

• Yes I am. Thank you.
• Yes indeed the GST cut of 2% was "stupid". But not as stupid as the Liberals promised cut to the GST of 7%
• A stupid reply!!
• Things will be much better when the Canadian Government is devoted to the Bill and Hillary Clinton administration.
• People living near the center of Canada (Ontario) only wish they were westerners.
• You are a great supporter of democracy. Don't let anyone vote who disagrees with you. Shame on you!
