That the banks are not taking the money offered should give you some insight that not all is as it seems, and that there are some very real strengths in the Canadian economy, in a very real way due to strong, intelligent Harper leadership. So what if Harper offered the money. The banks don't need it, and never did. They've already written down their relatively small ABCP crap, and moved on. Remember - it is American banks coming to Canadian banks to help bail out the American banks......<BR/><BR/>Of course Ignatieff is off to a good start telling all and sundry that Harper is a liar, and charlatan, a racist, etc (curious that the guy who is pro Palestine and Pro Lebanon and anti-Israel - a democracy in the middle of the middle east monarchies - proving his racist and adjustable ethics) and I hope he continues. It didn't work for Layton, Dion and the traitor, and it won't work for Iggy either. But let him try. Rae is Dion with better english. And if vitriol and vilification of the other guy is what the LIbs think they need to get Canadians on their side - I say yippee, because the Libs still haven't spent enough time in the woodshed for all the Adscam/Shawinigate/HRDC corruption.<BR/><BR/>So now everyone is talking about the National Deficit as a fait accompli. Where is it? I don't see it. When and if it arrives, then I will worry. <BR/><BR/>At the same time we saw near record employment, trade surpluses and laudatory comments from world forums about Canada's excellent economy, which requires TRUE WORLD LEADERS of Harper's stature to achieve, Dion et al had it exactly wrong, and a nutbar plan to fix what ain't broke during the two weeks before Dion's final public decision as neither yesterday's or tomorrow's man. <BR/><BR/>So we are now reduced to seeing things that 'may happen' and 'Harper's eyes' as the current set of meaningful diatribe? <BR/><BR/>Come on folks. Try a little substance fer cryin' out loud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415271.post-36087305563121590682008-11-17T01:08:00.000-07:002008-11-17T01:08:00.000-07:00Sad isn't it?

I was stupid enough to think he might carry through on his promises of more accountability. Who knew that by "accountable" he meant everyone else being accountable to him? I don't know if you're a religious man or not, but I find it striking that in the gospel of John, Jesus refers to the devil as "the ruler" of this world, whose nature it is to lie, because there is no truth in him. Those comments strongly suggest to me that those who rise in society tend not to be the good. Although I voted for him once, Harper's eyes have always troubled me. I have spent a lot of time reading eyes. When I was younger, I hitch-hiked twice across North America, and so I was highly motivated not to make too many mistakes in that respect. Yet there is a quality in Harper's eyes that I can't put a name too, and it is a quality that troubles me.<BR/>Marnie Tunay<BR/>http://fakirscanada.googlepages.com/Fakirs Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194254351555848321noreply@blogger.com
