Is Business About To Pick Up?

Who said politics was boring?

The federal Liberals plan to bring down the Conservative government in a confidence motion on Monday, saying they have a viable alternative, the Canadian Press reported Friday.

"In light of the government's failure to recognize the seriousness of Canada's economic situation and its failure in particular to present any credible plan to stimulate the Canadian economy and to help workers and businesses in hard-pressed sectors such as manufacturing, the automotive industry and forestry, this House has lost confidence in this government and is of the opinion that a viable alternative government can be formed within the present House of Commons."

If reports are true, Dion won't go down as the second Liberal leader to not be PM. Supposedly the parties have agreed he would be PM.

Will they or Won't they?

I'm confused

"Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty says the government will “stay on track” and leave the cuts to political party subsidies in the financial package to be introduced in Parliament next week."

The Fight Isn’t Over Yet

The Opposition might have won the battle over public funding, but it can’t stop there. The fact is that there are still a number of provisions in yesterday’s Economic Statement that are still intolerable. First of all, the lack of any kind of real stimulus package for the economy is unconscionable. Our economy can’t wait till Budget is brought done. By then it could very well be too late to save the auto and forestry sectors, amongst others.

Then there is the removal of the right to strike of civil servants, the removal of the ability for women to fight for their rights and these imaginary asset sales to “balance the budget”. Thanks, but no thanks Mr. Harper. As an Ontarian I’ve been there before, and ya know what, I never wanna go back.

Thank You Mr. Harper

Everybody outside the Conservative Party and its supporters are deriding the move my the Finance Minister to slash public funding of the parties. While I’m against this move, I think we all owe Mr. Harper a big loud, boisterous THANKS!

Not only has this move helped to mobilize the members of the party to financially support the party, a support which is desperately needed, but it has served as a rallying cry for members of all the opposition parties that enough is enough and its time for a change, building REAL momentum for a coalition government that would finally see Mr. Harper and his neo-con ideologues thrown out of the government.

So once again, thank you Mr. Harper, thank you very much.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Today there is news that the Ignatieff camp sent out an email asking for donations to his campaign to “Save Canadian Democracy”. Regardless of the leadership candidate I support, this smells rotten to me and it should to you too. This is NOT a time for partisan leadership politics. We need to come together and support the Liberal Party as a whole.

So I say forgot the leadership race for the time being, there will be plenty of time for that later. Be it via a one time donation or signing up for the Victory Fund or Laurier Club, donate to the party and show that while we might disagree on who we believe to be the best candidate for the leadership, in the end, we stand together as a party united.
