The Canadian Debate is On!

We are in week 2 of the campaign. There are strategies afoot you and maybe I are unaware of.

With the Liberals swinging decidedly left it has been gobbling up NDP voters. Sadly they will be the true losers I am afraid.

There are some Con riding's that feel pretty safe. My MP won with 68% of the vote, for example.
I am sure there may be other riding's more concerning to the party. But it would be a mistake to say it falls all at the feet of Mr. Harper, or Party strategists. Ridings like mine are as concerned as anyone about strategic ridings. We would like to see more people participate in bringing in that Conservative majority in May. Why? Because of the issues. One could almost say Canada's escape from the greatest recession ever could almost be described as miraculous.

All parties wanted deficit spending stimulus then complained because of a deficit. To think that Canadians aren't smart enough to do the math... We have had exceptional economic leadership. Canadian spending last year came in 14B UNDER budget. We will make the deficit targets. Compare Canada's deficit to any of the Western economies, and we shine.
With the US at 4 Trillion now, Canada's deficit under a left wing government would not be 50B, it would be 350B. And now Iggy has ardently followed that path with an 8 billion dollar first step.

I can't help but wonder if families first would benefit most with an 8B dollar tax cut? Wealth redistribution has never been a Liberal strong suit. It would be only a matter of time before we would see envelopes stuffed with cash doing its same thing to our country.
