Flaherty looks for a scapegoat for his own incompetence

If I remember correctly Stephen Harper and Jim Flaherty told Canadians that Canada was in a great position and would not be hurt by the World recession, that was 2008. Yet they drowned us in over 50 billion in debt taking the opportunity to pay back those who supported them and the communities that voted for them.

Like sidewalks to nowhere..... yah yah I've said it before but if you were not offended by this abuse of your tax dollars then I guess it needs to be beaten into you.

Now Canada's comedic finance minister is intending to blame others for his incompetence. By comparison a debt of 50 plus billion dollars for Canada would be similar to a 500 billion dollar debt in the USA since we are 1/10th the population.

That being said one need only look how Harper is scrambling blindly in an attempt to salvage our economy which according to him can survive a recession without any affect. First China, now the European Union. Yes we should have economic ties with both these powers however the effort should have been there in 2008 not four years after the economic crash.

"You have to remember that west of Winnipeg the riding's the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from Eastern Canada; people who live in ghettos and are not integrated into Western Canadian society."

Offensive and bigoted statements by your Prime Minister of today and shows what his true mindset is today.

The final word:

"Then there is the Progressive Conservative party, the PC party, which won only 20 seats. Now, the term Progressive Conservative will immediately raise suspicions in all of your minds. It should... They were in favour of gay rights officially, officially for abortion on demand. Officially -- what else can I say about them? Officially for the entrenchment of our universal, collectivized, health-care system and multicultural policies in the constitution of the country."
