If you were going to make a link between recessions and which party is in power, then you should welcome a Liberal government. That would be silly of course...
Then why was Harper's "wait and see" approach so terrible that the coalition needed to steal parliament? The political decisions the government makes don't affect how the economy (and by extension, a recession) reacts? Or am I misunderstanding you?
