Personally, I think I should run for PM with the single party platform of no more elections, no more voting, the Country of Canada ruled by one benevolent dictator.

I'd win in a landslide.

My first act would be to export Elizabeth May, my second would be to ban the NDP and inprison Jack LAyton for crimes against my temper.
Thats liberal politics. They will start taxing everyone hard again in the middle of a recession. Cut programs across the country so they can say they have increased funding to them afterward. Then when things improve we will all be stuck with taxes that were supposedly temporary.

I'm no political scientist here but the liberals smashing the conservatives due to the deficit is pretty lame. What were they expecting in this recession....a 50 billion surplus? Sure anyone could get a surplus if they bumped the gst to 8% and raised income tax a few percentage point. Most of us have had it pretty good the last couple years.....the middle tax bracket is due to be bent over again. Anytime a government runs a surplus of any sort should be considered a moronic blunder.
