Well; I gave it my best shot. That much at least I can be satisfied with.

I find it sad however where Canadians seem to be so afraid of a recognizable change they jump headlong and without reservation into the Conservatives who guarantee them change; extreme change without telling them what the changes are. I'm sure there are a number of addiges to cover the situation but, it leaves me heart broken never the less.

A few loons? I would say that is not a bad average. Where would you place Stockwell Day -on the sidelines now, in your loony meter?

Sounds great to me! At least we are assured no Conservative Majority; that is what counts this time around.

These are scary times however; the Conservatives have the organization and contacts to turn out the vote. This is usually in the form of Employers after their their few points of tax break telling their staff to they have to vote today and vote Conservative or face some dire strate, usually invented.

The NDs on the other hand don't have the high paid organization. Only one day to wait and as I have said before, momentum being what it is-------

Harper's one man dog and pony show is targeted to a very narrow strip of Canadians and he is quite ready to shred the majority for his Conservative dreams.

He has demonstrated on so many occasions he does not give a dam about the walk along Canadian. His interests lay in the corporate boardrooms as much to garner favor as support. The people who live in the castles do not rule; it is the people in the houses who are getting shafted that will be heard.

Harper can beg votes from the NDP and the Liberals as much as he wants but his "economics stupid" arguments are empty and his business tax reductions are strictly a payback to the corporate body. His way of saying thanks to them.

Anyone that stands up in the public media and tells the world he is going to Change Canada so none of us will recognize it and continues to push his conservative agenda without telling the people of this country what he is about certainly is a danger to this country and an extreme danger to those things that make Canada, Canada.

Jack Layton has a life, and he is animated even though he is hurting; he is not a plastic character like Harper!

Layton has given honest answers to a broad field of open questions many times being at a disadvantage.

He is a brave person who occasionally needs a massage.

This turkey has gone on public television telling the world he will change Canada to a point none of us will recognize it.

It think I will wait for the votes to be counted. Momentum being what it is may just push Harper into the Official Opposition.

His plans on health care are killing him. To fix health care by knocking half of Canadians off their health care coverage will certainly do something for lineups but dam little for the way of life for Canadians.

Yes Loraine and it saddens me greatly. That's why I continue to fight the good old political fight.

The decision to do away with Canada's public health system originated between Harper and Martin and has been carried forward to Iggy. They are facing an aging population by cutting them off from Government support just as the Republicans in the US did and are continuing doing. Their Medicaid is under attack as being the first choice for cuts.

There are lots of things to be discussed on medical, expenses and coverages. I have made an effort at doing just that See: Health Care Costs: http://albertathedetails.blogspot.com/2011/04/can...

The Conservatives across the country (including the Liberals in BC) have an easy place to charge expenses in their health care. The higher they can push health care costs the easier it will be to do away with the public system.

After we get the costs and the accounts beat out we can start comparing and fixing things. Without this basic costing in place it will degenerate into a name calling forum .

I think there is a way to allow physicians to bill outside of our public system. I don't think our system has to be trashed to do it.

Iggy has betrayed his rank and file membership by endorsing Harper's legislation turning bulk water export over to the provinces with no tethers! That is a betrayal of the first order! Then,, going out of his way to to usher in private insurance health care is another betrayal of the rank and file Liberal like myself.

I think he would be much happier back in the states running as a republican.

Government figures put the energy sector at 60% of the provincial employers. While it is significant it is hardly the ruling class.

Economists Like Stephen? Am I off track or was it not the Economists who pulled down our financial house last time?
