LOL this is one of my Fraternity brothers who I think is a douche canoe. He's made so many dumb comments on Facebook, thankfully the media didn't get the rest of them - especially the ones about loving Sarah Palin. I still cannot believe he works on the hill, the only reason he's there is cause he's such a fucking brown noser. I hope his career is done.

People that make the effort to attend rallies often have their mind already made up, they are either there to support or to cause shit. Either way, they are not the voter the Conservatives hope to sway. Their campaign is very locked down to come across as calm, cool, collected to sway the people who don't care about all the political nonsense and just want a sensible government not making waves. Thus these people won't even pay attention to this, so it is a non issue the opposition is trying to run with.

touche. he did indeed do that. i was actually mildly surprised that canadians as a whole didn't care at all about that, and gave him more seats when he called that election.
just like this contempt thing -- canadians don't care one bit at all. it's a non-issue in this election.

I think it's more likely they've all blindly bought into the whole 'The Conservatives will save us with their economic magic!' hysteria.

The NDP platform is out, and judging by all the promises taxes will be going up, corporate taxes specifically. We only need to look slightly south for an example of what happens when corporate taxes are increased. Illinois state increased taxes while neighboring states lowered corporate taxes - I'll let you guess what businesses have decided to do. Its actually gotten so bad that corporations in Illinois get phone calls from the Governor offices of other states to encourage them to move to a tax advantages state.
Thus it is nice that Layton thinks he can increase taxes and create jobs, yet reality says otherwise.
Then there is his cuts to small business tax and incentives to hire. No small business is going to hire permanently just cause a few month's salary is paid for via a tax credit. They need to be doing more business to hire more people - which just isn't happening right now. Look around Vancouver at the number of empty commercial buildings.

your talking about one state raising taxes not a whole country. If all the states raised taxes what do you think would have happened?
Harper is just copying Bush, from his campaign tactics to his policies.
