Totally irresponsible.<br /><br />THEN, the goofball mentioned the "D" word on Dec 16th, 2008. Again, not very responsible when it would have been a good time for him to do his usual clueless lying.<br /><br />I posted the indices on the various dates earlier. I posted a link to the article where Harper talks about a possible DEPRESSION - and he did it at the market BOTTOM.<br /><br />He was a reverse barometer. If only he could be so perfectly clueless ALL the time. <br /><br />http://v1.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081216.wflaherty16/BNStory/BILL+CURRY<br /><br />(Note my comment at 10:17 am that day)<br /><br />Do NOT try to sell the notion that the PM was "right". He wasn't. And a PM has no business trying to tell citizens it's a good time to invest - EVERYBODY has different goals, risk tolerance, etc. It was totally wrong and totally irresponsible.Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-71637163196742966632011-02-20T19:36:19.644-05:002011-02-20T19:36:19.644-05:00The myth Steve Harper is competent is being debunk...The myth Steve Harper is competent is being debunked every day.<br /><br />I know it’s funny, but the Harper Conservatives have been spinning that tale of fantasy for five years now without a shed of evidence to support the claim. Their talking points say that they are prudent and responsible in matters of fiscal policy, responsible management of government, and competent stewards of the economy.<br /><br />Real economic conservatives don’t see the humour in this. They supported Harper on the premise that he was as advertised. What they got instead was a “Conservative” party under Harper that broke all its promises. Far from being competent conservatives, the Harper government has gone to town in an orgy of spending unprecedented in Canada’s history.<br /><br />And much of the increases took place well before the recession hit.<br /><br />Mr. Harper, with no practical or real world experience outside of the public payroll and never before having practiced economics, calls himself an “economist” because he has a degree from the University of Alberta.<br /><br />http://www.vancouverobserver.com/blogs/centrist/2011/02/07/subterfuge-and-incompetenceNadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-82220249853552638612011-02-20T19:36:04.613-05:002011-02-20T19:36:04.613-05:00Haper’s rubber stamping MP puppets exposed
In an ...Haper’s rubber stamping MP puppets exposed<br /><br />In an appearance before the House of Commons finance committee Tuesday, Kevin Page expressed concern Parliament is approving justice and crime bills without knowing their full cost implications.<br /><br />He also noted MPs recently voted in favour of cuts in some departments without understanding the implications of their decision.<br /><br />“… Parliament is losing control of its fiduciary responsibilities of approving financial authorities of public monies as afforded in the Constitution.”<br /><br />Mr. Page said the PBO’s updated fiscal projections continue to show a deficit in 2016, contrary to the government’s promise to balance the books by then. He warned MPs, however, that the main concern facing Canada’s finances is long term because of the rising costs associated with retiring baby boomers. <br /><br />Mr. Page said the current “political climate” leads MPs to ignore these issues. <br /><br />http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/kevin-page-fears-mps-are-losing-control-of-fiscal-reins/article1907911/Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-30976475379314912752011-02-20T11:31:42.234-05:002011-02-20T11:31:42.234-05:00There was a piece on Carney in Report on Business ...There was a piece on Carney in Report on Business a few months ago and, later, one on Flaherty.
