@Mark Shortreed:
Um … Paul Martin? The guy who left us with a $30 billion dollar surplus? Does he count?
Harper needed the opposition to “force” him into stimulus spending, because he’s either a lousy economist or a plain old-fashioned, bald-faced Refor–I mean “Alli–” I mean “Conservative” liar. He either lied to us that “there ain’t never gonna be no recession” or totally failed to spot a recession that was predicted in “The Economist” newspaper two years in advance.
Instead, he spent $30 bn on his own failed ideology, which boils down to “greed is good.” Failed in the 80s and continues to fail today. Just like the current placeholder government.
Heck, we still wouldn’t be in deficit position this year if he hadn’t blown it completely.
So there’s Paul Martin, a Liberal who saved us $30 billion so Harper and Co could waste it. And having had your point rebutted, do you have another member of the Party Formerly Known as Reform to show us?
