Michael Ignatieff addressed a crowd of Quebec Liberals yesterday, setting out a range of priorities including bilingualism, the economy and the sensitive issue of loyalty within the party.
|
Why?
Why in hell is bilingualism a priority to Canadians??

It is if you're trying to get Quebec votes.

I'd still like to know where Michael is going to get the money to restore from funding cuts, or as he stated pay off the debt without increasing taxes?
He's almost beginning to sound like Jack Layton out there.

I don't give any credit to the Liberals that I am not giving to anyone else here...you can't cut taxes, increase service and pay the debt all at once. Makes no difference which side of the political spectrum you're on.

To be honest, in regards to the deficit, if the Conservatives hadn't cut the GST the deficit would likely be much lower. I liked it despite the criticism, but in hindsight it seems like the wrong tax to have cut.

I liked the idea of a consumer tax cut, but the timing of the GST cut really stunk.

Well they both face the same issue from a policy perspective. Both parties are positioning themselves as fiscally prudent, or more prudent than the current government and both really have not laid out how they plan to complete all of these promises. Neither will come out and say that they are raising taxes (clearly that would be political suicide), but yet both are promising better delivery of public service and deficit reduction. My point is just that there is an interesting parallel between the two parties and their current positions despite their ideological differences in many other areas.

The one I saw was on a hat, on CTV news and it was a dark blue.

Disagree. It was a throwaway comment that had absolutely no value. He was fishing for reactions, the textbook definition of trolling.

Now that you've made a useful argument... though this response belongs in the other thread.
For the WAP, both candidates find the carbon capture aspects of Stelmach's environmental plan to be a $2 billion waste. Both find that the province is spending far too much to sustain the bureaucracy (especially in health care). and they want to set the royalty scheme back to what it was so as to help encourage the O&G industry to return to investing in Alberta. Will it solve every problem? Doubt it. And doubt they expect it will right away either. But at least they've proposed areas where cuts can be made.
What the federal Liberals expect to do, I do not know.
