I'd like to know more about what he'd do differently from McGuinty but you'd have to be a psychic to know his position on most issues.
Yeah, he's not as easy to figure out as McGuinty. With McGuinty, his position is always the direct opposite of what he says it is.

LOL! McGuinty may be too quick to make promises he can't keep but he pretends so much better than Tory. McGuinty gives the impression that he'll try to accomplish as much as possible. All I know about Tory is that he put on tons of weight and has been loosing it now that an election is looming. It is easy to be more honest than McGuinty if you have no ideas, no opinions, no goals and nothing to say.:)

$900 Million more for QC

I've pretty much given up trying to keep track of all the extra cash Harper is pouring into Quebec. Looks like he's not done yet. Here's another $900 Million to help out the aerospace industry which is mostly located in Quebec. This is getting ridiculous.

Aerospace industry to get $900M boost

Last Updated: Monday, April 2, 2007 | 9:35 AM ET
CBC News

The Tories are set to announce a $900-million aid package for Canada's aerospace industry, with most of the money going to businesses in the politically key province of Quebec.

The money, to be spent over five years, will go to research and development, Radio-Canada reports.

Although the funding is not going specifically to Quebec, most of the top industry firms are based in the province.

Industry Minister Maxime Bernier and Public Works Minister Michael Fortier will make the announcement in Montreal Monday.

In the past, the Conservative government has said it prefers cutting taxes to create a business-friendly environment over subsidies.

Federal Liberals are criticizing the new funding announcement, saying it amounts to politicking.

"They [the Conservatives] attacked government investment in aerospace as unwarranted government subsidy," Scott Brison, the Liberal industry critic, told the Globe and Mail.

"And in a pre-election environment, they're trying to do the same thing. These guys are the patron saints of hypocrisy.

"This sounds like a pre-election, ad hoc drop in the bucket to improve the perception of what they've done for aerospace."

Any Conservatives out there who think this is a Quebec version of the so-called Harris common sense revolution will be sadly mistaken - after all it was Harper who wanted and needed a Charest majority to aid a Federal election - now all Harper has is a confused political state that will be of no help on the ground in Quebec.
How does Harper lose? He has a non-seperatist right wing party in opposition and a former member of the PC party as the minority leader.

BBK, you are suggesting that the Federal Liberals are responsible for the decline in the seperatist movement, are you?

LOL McGuinty surprised me with his political skill when he took the Provincial leadership away from Kennedy, made himself relevant in the recent National leadership race - and turn bending the truth into a virtue by claiming the devil made him do it (devil meaning Harris).
LMAO. That is too funny!

Why is it Conservatives are liars and Liberals "bend the truth" with virtue? I guess one man's string of broken promises and outright lies is another's bending of the truth.

LOL....................

Because of the intent. You see, liberals are good people with good intents,
so if they are untrue, it is because of external factors.
Conservative politicians are inherently evil, so they lie.
