Jack Layton could very well become PM next week. For Canada it would be a travesty. Jack would transfer the wealth. He would shut down the oil sands, raise the corporate tax rate up to 19%, impose a job killing carbon tax. Basically he would rape western Canada and give the proceeds to Quebec and special interest groups. It would cause economic chaos. Look what has happened in the US with President Obama. That would happen here too.
In fact the whole country would suffer in more ways than one. We would go further into debt and deficit that would bankrupt the country. Any province who has had an NDP government knows what it's like. It's been a disaster. With Jack Layton at the helm it would be a disaster all over the country.
In order to stay in power Jack would give Quebec the moon and force all federal public employees to speak French that includes the Supreme Court Justices. Well qualified individuals namely from the west would most likely be excluded.
Many westerners will not want see their province be raped by likes of the socialists and go down the tubes to spread the wealth especially to Quebec. They've gotten enough already.
If Canadians don't WAKE UP, I believe you will see western separatism rise up like you've never seen before . Unlike Quebec that uses it just as a threat for blackmail, western Canada namely Alberta would actually act. There will a national unity crisis. Even the PQ in Quebec said just a couple of weeks ago first they want to see a weak government in Ottawa, then they would win the provincial election, then referendum.
As a western Canadian from Alberta, I cannot sit idly by and allow this to happen. We don't have to end up with that kind of a situation. there is still time left so get out there and get that Conservative majority to prevent a catastrophe.
Unity crisis, economic disaster, our military being gutted etc. Is that what you want?
PM Harper and his government have done a good job the last five years. We are the envy of the world why spoil that? Even the Globe and Mail usually Harper Conservative hating paper is admitting that Stephen Harper is the man for the job and has endorsed the Conservatives.
CANADA WAKE UP!!!!! Because come the morning of May 3 you may wake up to something you might not like.
I have said many times, if the coalition gained power we would have an Eastern and Western Canada, just like North and South Korea. There will be a big shift of population from the East to the west - even from Quebec. The Non Democradic Party would be worse .... they do not care about Western Caanada and will treat them no different than the LIEberals have in the past.
ReplyDeleteI for one, would choose Wester Canada.
Get out and vote. [I already convinced several 18+ to vote ... even if for an Indepandent, just vote. The <25 age voters have the biggest steak in this election, they have to live with the results.]
If Jack truly becomes PM, I will consider the following:
ReplyDeletea) See what Jack actually does. If he pillages the west I will be forced to consider action such as check with the Wildrose Alliance in AB, of which I'm a member, and see if they have a response to protect the province.
b) Failing that anything fruitful occurs with the WAP, look at the possibility of an Alberta separatist option.
c) Move to the U.S.
d) Cry myself to sleep at night.
e) Any, all or neither of the above, except D, which if this happen regardless.
Leeky Sweek,I truly believe Jack would pillage us in Alberta. He will impose a carbon tax. He will shut down the oil sands. He will raise the corporate tax rate. He will kill our economy.
ReplyDeleteI do see surge in western separatism. Mark my words.
frmgrl, I do believe you.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the poor structure of e) above. It doesn't pay to type when you're in a hurry.
Caller on Dave R from Ont, saying he got a call from his investment banker today, saying cash out before Monday, and if Layton wins, we will invest your money off shore.

ReplyDeleteSee it's already starting. It's clear that Jacko is NOT good for business!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!
We're already on the way to the poor house.
Let Jack become PM. We'll see how dysfunctional Canada is. Nobody asked us in Sask-Alta if we wanted to be exploited by Central Canada. Enough already.
ReplyDeleteAs a Westerner, having Layton as PM will fulfill a lifelong dream for a Western Republic.
ReplyDeleteI would vote for Calgary as the Capital of Western Canada.
