Elizabeth May meets with her constituents every day. She knows that those people are worried about losing their homes.
Did they put May on valium to slow down her speech?
Harper did cut the wrong taxes (GST is the least distorting tax) -- but he did cut taxes, which is good.
Now they're ganging up on Harper
Paikin, take control - that's what you're good at.
"Take some responsibility here, and don't try to paper over ...something..." Layton
He's got zingers galore today
laissez-faire. Another drink.
"laissez-faire, I don't care" approach. What a jackass. (Dion). Does he know what "laissez-fare" means?
Tax cuts are a gift!? What a sad political culture.
is he saying "environment"?
I like how Duceppe says "development"
I think they say "laissez-faire" because "laissez" sounds close to "lazy"
Does anyone sane still think that the original Kyoto targets are attainable
good, good, he got the tax free savings account stuff out
I'd like to see more job losses in the public sector.
From my obscure knowledge about the libertarian movement: the traditionist
YAFers used to call the anarchist and libertarian YAFers "Lazy Fairies" back in the 70s
uh oh.. May and Layton are tag teaming
and they mentioned Mr. Howard.. I knew that would come up at least once.
Layton: "I don't know where you get your advice from, maybe it's the CEOs on Bay Street" (zinger number 3)
Next to Marc Emery and marijuana policy reformers, Bush is the most influential man in Canadian politics it would seem.
from Shotgun blogger Janet: "We're wondering - what's a better game? take a shot every time Dion says "laissez-faire," or take one every time Harper assures Canadians he's not"
Cut the capital gains tax, Harper! That's would be the debate winner -- the knock out punch!
Dion calls someone else a socialist!
ah, man, that's another drink
it sounds like your feed is a few seconds ahead of mine
Yeah Jack go after Dion, fight for that official opposition status!
I'm watching on actual TV
Dion is good at attacking the NDP. He's old school commie, says Dion.
Layton seems to be dominating
so is Dion saying Canada should be more like Sweden, or that Layton wants Canada to be more like Sweden (and that's a bad thing)?
Manufacturing gone for good? Good question - and great answer by Harper, an honest answer.
Harper's working really hard to avoid looking "angry" or "mean"
Except for the whole thing about needing subsidies to create new jobs
Wow they really like to talk over one another. Palin and Biden aren't doing that in their debate (I'm flipping back and forth - oops)
Chris, which one is more interesting, so far?
Anti-strong dollar comment from May. Interesting.
I don't know why the Conservative team doesn't allow Harper off the leash. He is looking like a gentle, sweet, charming man. Why doesn't he just let loose a little bit?
oh, Layton, shut the hell up!
The american one is a lot more inspiring, like they are trying to rally people to their cause.
"Why are logs going to other countries? They don't make anything of wood we couldn't make here"
Harper should put away the metaphorical sweater vest
