A Picture Can Tell A Thousand Truths

Go Harper Go

Well, it seems we’ve gotten an early Christmas present from the government here in Canada. Steven Harper managed to get Parliament shut down til late January. Right on! Now that’s how government should operate. When it comes to government intervention, less really is more. No intrusive laws will be passed. No more growth and power grabbing by the Liberals. Free enterprise will be allowed to exist a little while longer. The CAW won’t be getting a bailout; as least not right away. Stephan Dion won’t be Primeminister (thank God).
As for the automotive industry, Toyota opened a brand new plant in Woodstock, On today. Good for them. As for the other three, listen, going bankrupt doesn’t always mean going away. Just ask Donald Trump.
Expecting taxpayers who make as little as $9/hr to bailout people making $35-$70/hr is wrong. It’s big government intervention gone insane in their lust for power. The free market knows how to deal with this stuff; that is if government can stay out of it.
Primeminister Harper may have fallen on the political sword to protect his country from making a huge mistake in propping up a trio of losers with your money and make no mistake, it really is your money.

The Peaceful Transfer of Power

The Canadian stock exchange (TSX) saw it’s greatest single day overall loss ever yesterday. It was the greatest percentage point loss in two decades. Why? One of the key indicators of a healthy democracy is the peaceful transfer of power following elections. Canada, thanks to the two Liberal Parties and one separatist party, has been in a state of political turmoil since its recent federal election. Jack Layton, leader of the ultra left wing NDP, said yesterday he would “bring down the government at the earliest possible opportunity”. They may manage to do it with the three stooges hooking up.

The stock market reacts negatively to such comments from stupid people with power. People with money, and I mean real money, do not invest in countries who can’t make up their mind who’s going to run the show. Unstable governments, talk of separation, taxing carbon footprints, war mongering. All of it is no different than the tinpot dictators rattling swords in africa and the middle east. Who invests there? No one.

People need stability. It anchors them. The Liberal parties own this one. The market freefall is theirs. The economic woes? Theirs. The conservative tax cuts have been working. Canada is not in a recession. The economy continues to grow. The Liberals are destroying this country. Any future recession will be their doing. Shame on them for holding this country hostage for the sake of gaining power. Shame on them.
