You weren't in power for last few years so we have only the Chretien martin years to decide how you will react in power.<BR/><BR/>How many times (beyond this post) have you gone back to Mulroney? to the Reform, to the alliance?? Was it me that said you shouldn't go back? I think I said if you are willing to go back then we should too...<BR/><BR/>In any case I see no problem with going back to the last time you governed so long as I keep hearing about the reform hidden agenda.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"We had explanations, some good, some not as much." - ditto I guess. If yours were good enough then why aren't ours?Barcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797062032956713967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-15032785872282658392008-09-09T16:27:00.000-04:002008-09-09T16:27:00.000-04:00If that was the case Mike, that was the case when ...If that was the case Mike, that was the case when he made the promise too.

Now you're going back to 1993?<BR/><BR/>I'll say in shirt form, yes, not all red book promises were broken. We had explanations, some good, some not as much. We also had a huge deficit from Mulroney to tame.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we had to answer for our broken promises. And we did. And the people passed judgement at the ballot box.<BR/><BR/>Now, it's Harper's turn. That's part of being in government, you have a record that you run on. You had time in government to fulfill your promises tha you ran on in the LAST election. Looking at if you did what you said you do is perfectly valid.<BR/><BR/>If there's reasons some promises weren't kept, its incumbent on you (the CPC) to explain why. Then, people can judge.<BR/><BR/>But just saying the Liberals broke promises in 1993, so we don't have to keep ours? That's sad.<BR/><BR/>You're making promises now. If calling you on ones broken without explanation from 2004/05 is unfair, why should anyone believe you'll do what you're saying you'll do this time?Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-73529953228670503202008-09-08T23:02:00.000-04:002008-09-08T23:02:00.000-04:00In all fairness about the softwood lumber deal wit...In all fairness about the softwood lumber deal with the US, what can our government do? Not much.<BR/><BR/>A million courts can rule in our favour, but if the US says they won't pay, what do you do? Send in the army? Close the border? File proceedings in yet another court?<BR/><BR/>Harper got the issue moving. If that means making concessions to the US (even if we shouldn't have to, according to the courts), at least he got the process rolling. Otherwise, what else do you do?Mike514https://www.blogger.com/profile/18375380983427133078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-20472652304818630172008-09-08T20:14:00.000-04:002008-09-08T20:14:00.000-04:00Do we really need to get out the "red book" and go...Do we really need to get out the "red book" and go tick by tick in it again?<BR/><BR/>Childcare, healthcare, gst, western alienation (oops that was martins not Chretien's), gun control (obviously working)....<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Show me how all of those (not to mention many more) were actually fulfilled by Chretien/Martin ...

I voted for Mr Trudeau many years ago at the early part of his career, then he became a TRUE party member and lost his way, and We have had sad sad leader since. Mr Martin the last Lib Leader removed his money from Canada offshore, took his shipping company away from Canada, hired and underpaid sailors from the Phillipines firing regular Canadian and Australian sailors, did not pay Canadian Taxes, this si the party of the me generation and until a new Party or leader surfaces Mr Harper is our only one.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168663330556417920noreply@blogger.com
