How can we insult the country any more than we did when we voted these Liberal jokers back into office?

Too bad we hadn't voted in the alliance 5 years ago instead, eh?
A 61c dollar forever

Shame over everything 'Canadian' and only rose glasses about everything American.... 13 new states almost wrapped and delivered...
Go team Neo-Conservative!
:P
Seriously though, so you think the Liberals SHOULD pay equalization AND give oil revenues to Newfoundland? You are p*ssed they are trying to protect the public purse? Or the liberal bashing is just habitual and you really didn't think about the issue, you just did the red-neck thing and bashed without thought?

What party was in charge the last time we had a 61 c dollar? And who was the finance minister?
At least, with a Conservative government, we would still have a democracy instead of being governed by the Supreme Court and a gutless wonder who can talk for a hour, spew out thousands of words, and say nothing.
Oh by the way . . . Merry Christmas to the Prime Minister and may God bless him! :innocent:
I think Newfoundland should get the same arrangement Alberta has right now. There's a reason why the Liberals are always dreaming up new schemes, like the infamous National Energy Program (NEP) and the soon to be famous Carbon tax on oil (under the pretense of complying with the Kyoto Protocol), in order to claw back some of the money Alberta gets. I'd be very surprised the Federal government is being very honest about what they're offering Newfoundland.
As for the equalization grants . . . has Newfoundland asked to keep them or are they concerned about claw backs the Federal government will use to give more money to Quebec while Newfoundland remains poor?
Let's not forget the WONDERFUL Hydro Electric agreement the Federal Liberals worked out for Quebec a few decades ago that saw money pouring into Quebec for hydro produced in Laborador simply because the power lines passed through Quebec.
Liberal bashing? I'm just trying to open your eyes to the embarrassment we have representing us in Ottawa and how they're using our hard-earned money for their own personal gain.
Let's face it, The liberals don't care about Alberta or Newfoundland . . . as a matter of fact . . . they don't even care about Quebec or Ontario. They certainly don't care about the people of Canada. They only care about themselves and staying in power. They will lie, cheat, and steal to maintain their position. They are totally unprincipled.
But . . . to tell you the truth . . . politics bores me and I have no strong feelings one way or the other about how we are governed.
