‘Old-Stock Canadians’: How About We’re All #JustCanadian?

When it came to choosing between business owners and the old Reform Party base, there was no real debate. The program was incredibly popular with small and large (tar sands) businesses. And if Justin Trudeau and his party prefer to deal with votes in Parliament one by one rather than crafting a co-operative governing agenda, that will be their choice. Canadians need support. The fact that he’s talking about pensions as taxes. “That’s where the difference is”.

“Canadians want a prime minister who understands the sense of urgency we all feel when we see the current crisis in Syria”.

Harper: Payroll taxes. 250,000 jobs. A thousand dollars for the Liberal party proposal out of someone making $60,000 comes out of the mortgage, comes out of planning for education, comes out of putting food on the table.

A few days will start to tell the real story, but the campaigns now will turn more regional and focus on their own critical paths to victory. He appeared with Sheldon Kennedy, now a victims’ rights advocate, to announce $20 million in new money for child advocacy centres.

Google Canada said searches during the debate for Trudeau narrowly edged Harper, and outpaced Mulcair by 80 percent. Mr. Mulcair? What’s your plan? We view it as an investment in the future.

“I’m exhausted of watching successive Liberal and Conservative governments dump these massive ecological, economic and social debts on the backs of future generations”, said Mulcair, who says he won’t run deficits while investing in social programs, but will raise corporate income taxes.

“Mr. Harper is yet again highlighting that he doesn’t believe that a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian, that there are different categories of Canadian and that, quite frankly, is not just offensive, it’s harmful to the country we are building”. Following the 2012 changes, refugee claimants sued, arguing their charter rights were being violated.

[All shouting over each other].

That’s not our figure, that’s the government of Canada’s figure under Mr. Harper’s Conservatives.

What is your personal plan to create jobs – I mean real jobs, not just taking things out of the ground. We have to move away from natural resources and toward a knowledge economy, Walmsley asserted. “That’s the way to sustainably develop our resources”.

However, at the same time, Anderson says there are a “fair number of people” who think the economy is neither “great” nor “terrible”. “That’s why trade is a good thing”. Wiseman said a relaxed Mulcair, running a front-runner’s campaign, looked more comfortable in his skin than he did in the first debate. They have managed to bleed traditional Liberal support from those communities by spending oodles of time and energy playing to their (conservative) traditional family values, their suspicion of big government and their entrepreneurship. “Canadians know this. The only two people who don’t know this are the two gentlemen on this stage”, Trudeau said.

“Mr. Harper put all his eggs in one basket and then dropped the basket”. “The commentary, analysis and humour is what people truly crave and we’ve seen this on Twitter throughout this entire campaign”.

Harper responded that the Conservatives are doing exactly that, without raising taxes and while balancing the books.

He was asked specifically about political observers saying that he had the most to lose going into the night.

And Canada recoups most of what it spends on refugees: They’re all obliged to repay the cost of their transportation and initial medical assessment – with interest.

Harper is pledging no tax increases or deficits and warning his opponents would damage Canada’s economy, which contracted in the first half of the year on falling oil prices.

“In the last 10 years, where would you rather have been than Canada?” he asked.

NDP candidate Linda Mc Quaig has long argued Canada's tax system is skewed to favour the wealthy a case she detailed in'Behind Closed Doors How The Rich Won Control of Canada's Tax System' and other books she has written
