However, if these facilities are made to incorporate community-needed elements, including community fitness centres, annex arenas etc, then I see an argument where one could say 'jobs created, services provided as opposed to non-tendered F-35s, maxi-prisons and fake lakes'... I expect that the office has some polling which says there's wiggle room here, and its something Harper continues to look for.<br />Retail politics isn't always smart.

Many Canadians are also pleased aND comforted to see a party that holds to a direction instead of the "small town cheap" brand of politics. <br /><br />I keep expecting to hear this all over the CBC but they don't seem to care much.ridenrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238308195535796308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-52780040542388497832011-03-14T23:37:22.615-04:002011-03-14T23:37:22.615-04:00and yet nary a peep out of ridenrain on this until...and yet nary a peep out of ridenrain on this until AFTER the Cons finally, almost, said no.

You stayed on your position and haven't moved from it! Unfortunately I can't say the same for the rest of the liberal bloggers! When the gov't was thinking about it lib bloggers couldn't wait to criticize the idea! Now that Mr.Igntieff is saying exactly what Mr.Harper had been saying suddenly we hear crickets. Typical! I congratulate you again for having the same position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-50585132106581014542011-03-14T19:23:41.058-04:002011-03-14T19:23:41.058-04:00It's crass vote buying and wrong, reguardless ...It's crass vote buying and wrong, reguardless of who does it. <br />This was a weeks worth of media against Harper. No where near as viral as “If you want Ottawa to participate, you have to vote Liberal” either. My guess is you post will be all we hear. <br /> Thanks for the honesty.ridenrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238308195535796308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-77965877619275004882011-03-14T18:38:45.200-04:002011-03-14T18:38:45.200-04:00Throw in Ultimate Fighting Challenge events, polic...Throw in Ultimate Fighting Challenge events, police funerals, and sax-toy conventions, and you've got yourself a deal.Skinny Dipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818163310102120130noreply@blogger.com
