Not a liberal fan, never have been, they give to those who dont need it and usually run the government into the ground.

You say you can't argue with results, but you're choosing to ignore the good work done during the Chretien/Martin years where our economy was very strong, the budget was balanced, the federal debt was being paid down, personal and corporate taxes were reduced, and they put in place (as CaptainCrunch noted above) strong banking legislation that largely protected Canada from many of the problems that plagued the US financial industry during the recession.
I know it's not popular in Alberta to say anything positive about the Liberals because of a bad government policy from 30 years ago enacted by politicians who are now either retired or dead, but you have to give credit where it's due. The previous Liberal government did a great job with the economy and budget, work that has mostly been continued by Harper's team (I give him a pass for putting us into deficit spending again because of the recession).
