Absolutely true, Paul. Most of us remember (those of us who have chosen not to remember notwithstanding) the coalition's attempted blackmail of Harper if he didn't break the bank and spend billions of taxpayers' money on bailouts. Harper even accomodated them, but only to the degree that he felt to be a manageable risk in the event of a loss. In other words, if the coalition had had its way Harper would have spent MORE on bailouts, not less. And they STILL tried to bring him down in a non-confidence vote, and for personal reasons other than the bailouts I might add—- reasons that were not in the best interests of Canadians. Senate reform, for example.

And now the libs are hoping Canadians, with their apparent Attention-Deficit-Disorder mentality will have long forgotten the above-mentioned facts. ("Oh, come ON Harper, that is SO last year!) and vote on the new "facts" as presented by Iggy, Turner and others. Gimme a ******* break.

Devotees of Garth have to be some of the stupidest people on this planet.

That #5 commenter Barb the Proofreader. Did some "research" into what 30 at the end on a article means. Determined it meant the 30th commenter from the previous post. What an idiot. It means its the end of the article.

These are the types of people that Garth Turner inspires. Complete fools. Babble to hear themselves speak. Much like Garth.

If all you naysayers are going to be honest and fair, Harper isn't SOLELY responsible for spending – as I recall the 3 stooges threatened to bring the gov't down UNLESS bailouts were in the works, and spending went up to "combat Canada's problems impacted by the financial crisis". When you're a minority gov't you do NOT do as you please, but rather as others choose, UNLESS you're prepared for a topple and then new election …I would like to see a Canadian equivalent of Ron Paul (tho he has policies I don't agree with also) – who at least wants reduced gov't and reduced gov't spending.
