The biggest threat to our recovering economy is the increases in Oil and Gas and the inevitable sky-rocketing costs of everything else because of it

And

Harper's Nada-Nada-Nyet Policy:

Nada for the tax,

Nada for the regulation

and

Nyet for the help to Canadians who need it.

Along with the inflation will come loss of jobs, reduced standard of living, increase in the number of families that can't make ends meet, . . .

What is the Harper government doing to protect us from this

Nothing.

Harper is actually giving more to the Oil companies through subsidies and the tax reduction to the most profitable corporations - 30 -50% of which are Oil companies and Bank.

Neither the Oil companies nor the Banks require additional incentives to be in Canada.

The Banks are Canadian and like it here. However, they take the billions in profits they reap from us and invest it in other markets.

The Oil companies not only are they making huge, undreamt of profits, but Harper already gives them subsidies and now undreamt of tax breaks.

Also, these profits flow more quickly and more unobstructedly out of Canada than the Oil.

Will the Oil companies and Banks pull up stakes and leave Canada if they didn't receive the Harper tax breaks - not in our lifetimes.

The only protection we as Canadians have is to work together to help those that need help - that's what Federalism is all about.

Eliminate the subsidies to the Oil companies and roll back the Corporate taxes and apply the funds to assist Canadians that need help.

To Harper and his kind, this makes Canada "a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term . . ."

But, I suggest, to the Moderate Majority of Canadian this is what makes Canada strong, proud and a place where all the people are free to carry out their dreams and not bound to financial servitude.
