Big money owed ????

[ABMax24]

I think it's really funny how both governments say they are there to support the "middle class", well I'm in trade school right now and went to apply for an AlbertaWorks grant today and low and behold they are out of money, so both Provincial and Federal Governments are running huge deficits and I'm seeing less benefits than from the previous Governments, I wonder where all the $$$ is going? Sure nice when you're promised stuff and it never comes through.

 

[rzrgade]

I think if Jerk off justin keeps sending money to African country's to battle climate change , throws over a 100 mill into bringing in more refugees , and taxes the oil industry out of buisness , as well as making sure all $$$$ to natives DO NOT have to be accounted for.... He is in fact delivering change !!!

How anyone can think this moron can fiscally compete with Harper is totally beyond me....
WOW , is he a joke , and we all pay for it !!!!

Maybe this will make you feel better. I heard on CBC radio today there hiring more teachers and health care workers to offset and help with the refuges with special classes to bring them up to speed in school and full health care to. Sadly there's no help for my daughters learning disability and last I checked there not giving away health care, but being we're already citizens of Canada we get to eat the big one.
Even with all the tax I pay I'm still not special enough to help. I guess Helping your own people move forward doesn't make the news headlines.

65billion or 200billion debt...who cares. With such a cash cow of resources in BC, Albt. or our sister provinces it baffles me why we don't have this in the bank instead and our streets paved with gold. Our governments no matter which one, are so piss poor at managing money and not being accountable for there stupid decisions and lack of intelligent spending is it any wonder we're seeing a mass of people overspending and living beound there means too. Monkey see monkey do. We're seeing this right before our eyes now. If you find yourself in a hole STOP digging!
Now if that is not enough, let's bring into our country more people and support them like were rolling in it, hey maybe we should be giving them a pentsion to boot.
Now we know why we're in a state of 911.

i agree with everything except about who cares about the amount of debt. look at what happened to most of the western world after the Wall Street raping everyone took in '08-10. Canada weathered it well due to stricter banking laws and prudent management of stimulus spending and cost cutting by successive Harper governments. now the price of oil has tanked and our GDP takes a hit, but with responsible management it's something we could have managed. Then along comes notley and Trudeau, the perfect pair of unqualified inexperienced social activists that together will mismanage and spend the Canadian economy into deep levels of debt. Add to that, the premier of Ontario is doing her level best to make it unaffordable for manufacturers to do business there. Central Canada is going to die because once gone, the manufacturers will never come back from the southern states and Mexico.
Western Canada will survive only because we have the resources that the world wants. Ontario and Quebec will see the money flowing back into western Canada and will demand " their share". We in the west will have to decide how we deal with this. Motley and the NDP will be gone next election cycle, right about the time the east- west animosity will be at its worst. I don't think this time the west will sit still for another raping like the NEP.

for all of you that believe Harper was a great leader here is an interesting read. Again, I know liberals have their own skeletons in the closet and I am sure a list such as this can be drafted up but Harper was far from a great leader and he bet his whole term on the success of oil and gas. As a business owner I would never put all my eggs into one basket.

• Stephen Harper has managed to turn 10 consecutive federal budget surpluses of the Martin-Chretien era into 7 straight consecutive deficits.
• Stephen Harper has the worst record of economic growth of any Prime Minister since RB Bennett and the great depression.
• Under Stephen Harper, household debt has exploded. The average household debt-to-income ratio (i.e., the amount of debt the average Canadian household owes for every dollar of their annual disposable income) has risen from $1.31 to $1.64 -- which is where the United States was before the housing market crashed.
• A significant contributor to household debt can be traced to rising housing prices. Mr. Harper's finance minister, Jim Flaherty, helped fuel the housing bubble with his irresponsible introduction of 40-year mortgages with zero down-payment.
Although he has since reversed himself completely on this policy, it was too late to avoid the damage he caused.
Speaking of Debt
• Fact: Between 1996-97 and 2005-06, the Liberal government paid $81.4-billion against the national debt.
• Fact: The federal debt in the fiscal year 1996-97 was $562.9-billion. By the time the Liberals left office in 2006, it was reduced to $481.5-billion • In contrast, by the year 2014-15, the Conservatives will have added $176,400,000,000 to the national debt.
Let me say that again, Stephen Harper has added and will add $176,400,000,000 to our debt.
• Fact: The Conservative federal debt in 2008-09 = $457.6-billion.
• Fact: The expected Conservative debt in 2014-15 = $634.0-billion (forecasted).
• Fact: 24% of the total accumulated debt since Confederation was amassed under Stephen Harper, this just since 2008.
This is the real and true economic and fiscal record of the Harper era.

LOL. No I can only wish

I just hate being lied to which seems every politician is doing so just enjoy pointing out the facts that he is no better than current or past leaders. Same old BS no matter what banner they fly under. For example, Harper says he was not going visit China due to their human rights abuse but on the other hand agrees to a $14 billion arm deal with the Arabs…… who also have a dismal human rights record. If you believe in a cause you stand up for that no matter what. Don't say one thing and do another.

Sure got a lot of animosity towards ol' Stephen. He run away with your wife or something?

Oh trust me I know, the page that used to contain the apprentice grants now has a link to click showing how we are helping the Syrian Refugees. I pay more in tax than a lot of people make and all I get in return is 8 weeks of school and sh!tty roads to drive back and forth on from the government. Really irks me, I work hard to have what I have and all I do is pay pay pay, and then those that don't give 2 f@cks get everything handed to them.

Youre blaming Harper for things they had no control over. For example, household debt and rising house prices. I don't remember conservatives forcing people to run their credit cards up or buying more house than they could afford. Also your numbers don't jive. If the federal debt was 481 billion in 06, and the conservative debt in 08-09 was 457 billion, then somewhere in there the conservatives paid down some debt.
Also remember in 08-10, an economic crisis equated to the Great Depression, all world govts had to inject money into the economy for stimulus reasons. The conservatives did so as well, they propped up GM and poured billions into central Canada to keep the lights on. So to criticize Harper and to compare his economic growth record to what happened in the '30s is disingenuous at best. And since 2010, the world economy has been sputtering, but because of oil and gas Canada did better than most. As for relying on resources too much, for the years listed, it was about the only game in town. Manufacturing largely has gone offshore and to think that central Canada is ever gonna bring it back is wishful thinking, particularly in the present anti- business climate of Wynne and Trudeau.
Was harper perfect? Far from it. But compare Canada to the rest of the world. Up until last fall, we were doing well by comparison. But it's probably harpers fault that oil is $35 a barrel.
No need to worry though....Justin's got it all figured out.

Don't forget though that Harper had his time in what is arguably the worst economic times since the depression, yes he added to the national debt but he also isn't paying $600 million to bring refugees to Canada either, and that's just the tip of the iceberg on that cost, wait until they start needing healthcare and education and other social services. Harper definitely wasn't perfect either though, but at least he had half a clue.

Canada weathered the tough economic situation better as our banks were heavily regulated which even Harper himself admitted. The funny thing is that he tried to de-regulate them but failed.

As for the refugees, hate to say it but refugees have been pouring in for years. Last year alone we had over 14,000, the year before that over 15,000 and in 2013 was over 16,000. So, this is nothing new and I fail to see the hype over it. If anything we should be upset as to all the TFW that were coming in.

Anyway, IMO he is just another leader that has failed to put our country on top with all the great "tools" this great country has to offer.

Maybe refugees have never been in the spotlight like they are right now and most of us didn't realize how much our government is spending saving the world.

[eclipse1966]

true but doesn't change the fact that even under Harper's term we were receiving thousands just like JT is doing now. I just checked the immigration web site and despite the tough times in 2008/09 we received 7100 in '08 and over 11,000 in 2009. Why wasn't anyone up in arms then? Reason being is that this was an election hot button.
