"But first he has some explaining to do. "

As long as the Harper policies do not consolidate the opposition then he doesn't have to answer these questions, in a rational fashion based on facts, anyway.


The core of die-hard, right wing extremist supporters, epicentre in Alberta, is the important thing since they are keeping Harper in power. They do not require logic.

"Harper may want to present himself to Canadians as a strong financial manager who has steered the economy to recovery."

Harper's approach to the economy is let Canada grow out of it. Oh yah, and this will take 6 years, and, hey, we better not change course or scuttle this 'recovery' (i.e. we must keep Harper in power for 6 more years).

The recent Conference Board report indicates if we throw overboard the bizarre F-35's purchases, insane spending on prisons and fanatical 15% reduction in corporate taxes we may be out of deficit years earlier (assuming that Harper will ever get us out of deficit given the extreme spending with free abandon to entrench their extreme right wing agenda) - i.e. if you want to get out of deficit - get rid of Harper.
