Regardless of how the conservatives got into office, it would seem that their policies have worked.

I don't proclaim to know much about the Canadian economy, but I do know your dollar is now on par with ours. (Thanks to the Fed). I believe you have a trade surplus with us and manufacturing is up too. You weren't exposed to the banking crisis 'cause your government didn't demand they make loans to people with no money or means to pay it back. So therefor not nearly as many foreclosures.

Furthermore, I believe your corporate tax rate is something like 15% providing incentive for business to flood the country.

Like I said, I don't know much about your economy, but from what I read and hear, Canada is doing pretty well with conservative capitalism.

Hell, is where were going with socialism. It's been going on for decades. Odumba has only put it on steroids.

Sorry for the politics.....

A lot of Republicans want to duplicate the capital gains tax that Canada, and some Euro nations have. We still have one of the highest. THe theory is that it would free up more money to be spent and create more jobs, therefore bringing in more tax revenue.

The banking crisis is far more complicated than a burger flipper at Mcd's getting approved for a $400,000 mortgage with a variable interest rate. It's mostly to blame on massive deregulation that took place in the 90's. The housing did it's fair share to help.

You should be sorry because you are dead ass wrong. The only reason that the Canadian dollar is at par with the US dollar is because of the Oil Fields in Alberta. The Canadian dollar is directly tied to the price gas. Canada has totally sold out its values and is destroying the environment out west for the sake of crude.

Furethermore Canada has next to NO military cost because the depend on the US as its security force. And the US has more elderly and poor to take care of than Canada has people period.

Conservatives want to pretend 2000-2008 didn't happen on thier watch. Yeah keep blaming Clinton for getting a BJ......right.

Well? It's open season. EK started it, so if people get banned, then start with the thread starter.

Yes, the Conservatives have done a great job, in Canada. We had 13 years of Liberal government, before they came to power. They did absolutely nothing, to build the country. For many years, we had a dollar that was in the 60 cent range, when compared to the U.S. dollar. I can't think of one major initiative that the Liberals instituted in that 13 years. When the Conservative's came to power, they were in a minority situation, with two left of centre parties threatening to collapse the government, if they didn't negotiate terms that would benefit their causes. The Harper government also had to deal with the separatists from Quebec. All the Harper government has done is make the economy work and push for freer trade throughout the world. They've also upgraded our arm forces, that the Liberals left in disrepair, plus used their infrastructure money wisely, when they had to initiate stimulus.

While the idiot's in power, south of the border, implemented a trillion dollar stimulus, Canada spent about 100 billion. They fixed roads, hospitals, upgraded the main railway lines and built recreation facilities for the people. What did Obama do with his stimulus? Sent it to the states, so they could featherbed their public sector unions. Now the money is gone and nothing to show for it.

While Obama continues on the road to a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit, the Canadian government, under Harper, is poised to have a balanced budget, next year. Where would you rather invest, if you were going to set up a new factory? Americans need to stop listening to the Obama hype machine and vote with their economic future in mind.

Not going to get too far into politics, but got I hate this line!

Canada does NOT need a military force because no one wants to take over Canada!! The only country that would, is the US, and it would be useless to even bother fighting them.

Please, educate me: What great 'threat' to Canada has the US protected Canadians from?

Who, from overseas, is going to come, take over, and more importantly HOLD a country as vast as Canada? Pleeeaaaase.

The only military Canada has is used to pay lip service for the stupid wars the US/Nato start around the world. And to make us look tough in the arctic.

Bill Clinton - Finishes office with the Largest surplus ever

GW Bush - Finishes with the largest deficit ever.

Obama - 4 years to fix that poop.

Canada is using their assets to build their economy. If you look at the provinces that are having difficulty, you'll see that they're run by left of centre governments. Where they have sound conservative provincial governments, they have a booming economy. It's the Obama administration who's printing money night and day, with nothing to back it up. Every month, they print 100 Billion dollars and inject it into the economy, with very little results. All that it's done is devalue your currency and will eventually wipe out people's retirement savings, because of inflation. The cost of socialism my friend, the cost of socialism!

On the military slam, you better get your facts straight. Under the conservative government, we've actually started to rebuild our armed forces. I live near Canada's largest Air Base, in Trenton, Ontario, and they are continuing to expand and modernize their fleet of aircrafts and the infrastructure around it. Under the Chretien regime, we became antiquated as a military power. He bought used equipment from other countries and slashed military spending. Our foreign policy was benien and other countries laughed at us. No more. If Harper has done one thing, he's given our country back it's self confidence.
