The vast majority of Canada has never paid attention and the MSM is sure not about to tell them because mostly they agree that he was "doing the right thing". The crap of the last couple of days about Taliban Jack does not even scratch the surface of how dangerous the NDP policies are to Canada.Bob Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13618874889804348711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850973949490261969.post-68541761617532054062011-04-30T22:43:21.898-06:002011-04-30T22:43:21.898-06:00Does anyone think Layton's party will win a ma...Does anyone think Layton's party will win a majority? He won't get to pass whatever he wants. Harper has a very ideological past also, and the prospect of him holding the total power over the executive and legislative branches scares many people. That is a real prospect and though many may say that Harper proved himself in a minority situation I am not convinced; he simply hasn't had a chance to do any of this transformative damage.<br /><br /> I suspect that when he says that a minority situation ties Canada's hands in a time of crisis and the major newspapers say this also, what he really means is that he cannot pass unpopular policies to create a Social Darwinist paradise in consultation with the banksters like Paul Ryan is doing in the United States. All he can do now is take the path of least resistance which is the totally inefficient corporate tax cuts but that beg in the future that workers take the hit to make up for the deficit these cuts cause. If he gets the majority it's Ireland-style austerity, where 20% of the economy has disappeared.<br /><br /> So I say give Jack Layton a minority government and there should be no problems at all. In fact, this should stop the movement towards voodoo economics and serving the banksters which is beginning to annoy many people throughout the world. Right now, with the state of the world today, Canada needs Jack Layton and not Stephen Harper charting the direction. Again, he will not have total power over the legislative and executive branches, one of the two other more traditional parties will be able to keep any "scary" things from passing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
