"Canada’s New Government"

A year and a half later and they are still on with that crap. They are great at propaganda techniques - repeat the same thing long enough people will come to believe it. As benign as this is, it's just getting plain stupid to be trying to make Canadians believe this is still a 'new' government. It's the same sellouts as before with a Conservative name. It was that a year and half ago, and it's that today.

If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.

   

Did you notice the plan costs $33B, but there was no word on where that money will come from?

And no plan for mass transit in carbon heavy Alberta, but we get better access to the far East!

The preceding comment deals with mature subject matter, however immaturely presented. Viewer discretion is advised.

   

The Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative isn't to tie Canada into the booming Far East through our West Coast ports but a means to tie the U.S.A. along with its Security and Prosperity Partnership plan to provide the cheapest way of transporting trade between the U.S.A. and the Asia-Pacific Gateway.

The expansion of the Floodway started long before Harper came to office. What's he announcing? That he didn't cancel the federal money?

   

Yes, in the same manner that a business which doesn't make its projected profit margins can call the lesser profit a "loss".....

The "next great megaproject" in this country is how to accomplish what we doing now with 1/2 the energy consumption we currently use.

What Harper is doing (or rather, like everything else on his plate, is promising to do when he gets his majority) is carying on the same old, same old........

The announcement of such plans is normally a sign of an upcoming election. John Turner did the same thing - when PM - but it came to nothing when the electorate turfed him and the LP out in the 1984 general election.

"O yes, I remember it well."

   

Funny how the shape of that infrastructure resembles a dog getting fucked up the ass by a bear.
