Last night Premier Ed Stelmach in a pre-recorded presentation, "The Way Forward" tried to convince us that his government has a handle on things and things will be alright in time. We would be in surplus territory in 3yrs.
How Mr. Premier, with your big spending.
We need more tranmission lines, why when it's going to cost the consumers more for power?
He will take care of seniors etc. Really?
Wage freeze for the public service? Good luck with one. Not gonna be so easy. Pay cut for you and your MLAs, good start but not enough.
You didn't win me over with that little talk. Why now? Could it be Mr. Premier that your poll numbers are tanking and the Wildrose Alliance is gaining on you?
Suppose you had to do something. You do have nice dog. We have one just like yours.
Oh, we wouldn't be in this major deficit situation if you had managed things better. Take a look next door, Premier Brad Wall has managed Sask. much better, including taking away business from us in the oil sector because of your royalty forumla.
Your presentation last night was a whole bunch of nothing.
BTW. How much did your little state of province pre-recorded video cost us anyway?

Somewhere Stephane Dion Must be smiling
Who would have thought that the Liberals could do worse than with Stephane Dion?
They thought, play change the leader and everything would be fine. They would soar in public support and return to their rightful place.
Looks like it hasn't turned out like they expected. Their new leader hasn't actually turned Canadians on, in fact it's the opposite. The last few polls have actually said the public is not ready to return them to their rightful place anytime soon. They are right where they were with Stephane Dion a year ago.
Here's the latest one. Keeps saying the same thing as the others. It's not getting any better for those Libs.
So at least Mr. Dion can take heart in these latest polls, the current leader is not doing any better than he did. Infact the current leader is doing a bit worse.

Giving Thanks
This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend, a time to stop and ponder and think about the blessings that God has bestowed upon us because it is God who is loving, kind and all powerful who gives us all those things.
I am thankful for my family, health, the basics like food, shelter, decent clothes on my back. I am also thankful for our brave troops who are fighting sacrificing their lives for freedom of the Afghan people and trying to defeat terrorism.
I'm also thankful for our current Prime Minister steering us through this economic meltdown. PM Harper is a good PM and statesman and makes me proud when he's on the world scene. By the way he's a pretty good piano player and singer too along with being a good example of husband and father. I am once again proud to be a Canadian.
So let's thank the Lord for all we have. Things could be alot worse.

More Good Economic News
Today more good news on the ecomonic front. Last month there were 30,600 jobs; jobless rate dips to 8.4%. Globe and Mail
Earlier today on CTV newschannel Ian Lee from Carleton University talks about these jobs and thinks that the Government's stimulus pkg. has something to do with this news.
Not good news though for Iffy. So how does he and his Libs explain this? They say that jobs aren't being created blah, blah, blah! Clearly some have through the Action Plan.
In the mean time in the US they are still shedding jobs. They lost something like 263,000 last month and their jobless rate is at a 26 yr. high at 9.8%. Not so good.
What does that mean? Even though we are not out of the woods yet, it means that our economy is being handled very well by PM Harper, Finance Minister Flaherty and the whole Conservative government.
Above all we need to stay the course. Iffy, listen, an election now for your ego would just hamper things.

Congratulations, Minister Flaherty
I want to congratulate Finance Minister Jim Flaherty for being named Finance Minister of the year from a group of his peers in Euromoney Magazine.
"The finance minister has enhanced his country’s reputation for sound fiscal policy that takes full account of social justice, while a strong regulatory regime has kept the financial sector out of the chaos. Helen Avery reports. "
Way to go, Mr. Flaherty, keep up the good work!
