Conservative attack adds

[Insidious Von]

Regardless of who's in power the budget will not balance itself and we the taxpayers will foot the bill.

We don't have an assessment of what our war in Iraq is costing us. And we don't know if Bill C-51 is an omnibus bill. Does it have a clearly defined enemy of the state clause, I doubt it. If not the two combined is going to put us in a huge fiscal hole. Harper is desperate to be seen as Canada's Teddy Roosevelt, he waved his big stick in Putin's face. But how much is his strident machismo costing us?

I think that hijab thing is more cultural or traditional than pure religion).

"Honor killing" is also more cultural than religious. I would put hijab and "honor killing" in the same boat.

Justin Trudeau is also attacking Harper in his speeches. In his speech yesterday Trudeau the Younger stop just short of endorsing Sharia Law in Canada.

Wow. The flag waving "yer with us or agin us" bullshit is working. I had secretly hoped that such a transparent tactic, and such a downright American tactic wouldn't wash this time. But here we are, this year of our Lord two thousand fifteen, and because the opposition guy isn't hopping up and down waving the flag quite hard enough, he's with the terrorist. Because thought is hard, but that knee... well, it jerks real good like!

SkyRider this is supposed to be thread for rational discussion not hyperbole...but since you went that road.

The Toronto Sun once ran an add "we don't kiss ass". I wonder if the editors have any face left after all the rimming they gave the Ford Bros this decade.

…

Of course the Con cost-cutting mantra always ignores that we are the only taxpayers as they pretend to balance their budgets by sliding the cost of a Scarborough Subway to up Ottawa and Queen's Park here, or by sloughing the cost of community housing and highway upkeep down to City Hall there. As if we wouldn't notice.

And the Ford Nation Fenom proves they were right; Con voters don't notice. Makes'em easy to con.

But the bills always come due, and cost more in the end. Compare the cost of the the mingy LRT on Eg with the subway The Duffer's budget-balancing grift made us dig twice and do without for decades.

I disagree with Harper on several issues but he is no racist. A racist would never apologize to visible minority groups like the First Nation and the Chinese (the Liberals never did when they were in power). Also, it was a Conservative (not Liberal) government that apologized to the Japanese in 1988. Young Trudeau should get off his high horse and stop playing political games using minority groups as props.

Harper is anything that he thinks will get him votes and make the CPoC the Natural Governing Party. Whether that's saying racist stuff like his niqab nonsense, claiming more secret police is the way to protect freedoms or apologizing to some minority.

But don't ask for any substantive action like investigating the hugely disproportionate death toll and disappearance stats of native women. But he is truly, truly sorry about each and every one.

 

[SkyRider]

Under "racist" Harper, the Muslim population in Canada has grown from 800,000 in 2006 when he because Prime Minister to over a million to-day (a 50% increase in just 9 years) and is the fastest growing religion in Canada.

"Estimates for the Census 2006 pointed to a figure of 800,000.[SUP][24][/SUP] As of May 2013, Muslims account for 3.2% of the total population, with a total of over a million, and Islam has become the fastest growing religion in Canada"

Unless you're claiming he approved all those permits—and even if he did—these stats say absolutely nothing about Harper's beliefs or attitudes.

Your 'evidence' shows a similar logical error to the racist who attributes the supposed shared characteristics of a mass of folks to the individual at hand.

Through all the Chretien et Al years, I don't really recall the liberals putting forth any laws of substance. I do recall them promising to repeal but never acting upon it. Maybe Canada likes government that spends 4 years with their thumbs up their ass.

 

[Marcus1027]

I almost forgot why I left Ontario and moved back to Alberta, you all bemoan the Tory attack adds, have you all developed a case of amnesia and forgot all the liberal and agents of the liberal party's attack adds agains Hudak and the PC party last year? How is this any different, and why is it acceptable for the liberals and every union to attack the PC's and not the other way around? As for Trudeau leading a G7 nation, get it out of your heads, He can't lead a class room full of childeren. The Duffy thing won't go anywhere, his lawyers Wil cite health issues and prolong it as long as the day is long. Besides, if Harper was concerned about Duffy, he isn't showing it.

All I can say is that you really don't pay attention. During the Chretien administration you may have noted the following accomplishments:
- Eliminating the federal deficit and paying down the debt tens of billions of dollars,
- Reducing taxes by over $100 billion
- The Clarity Act
- Refusal to join the U.S. war in Iraq

Now, Stay, why don't you tell me what the Harper government has done, other than spend taxpayer dollars to promote itself in their "Economic Action Plan" commercials.

 

[fmahovalich]

I think there should be a 2 term maximum (like the USA) For prime minister in Canada ...After 6 or 7 years the incumbents have the system rigged, and have figured out how to screw us with ease ...
It's definitely time Harper got voted out... and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll be voting NDP. .. I've been a lifelong PC'r.
The attack ads do absolutely zero for me.

best of luck Sir, if the NDP get in!

Harper can't yet fully control immigration.

However, you should note that despite CSIS noting that right wing extremists are more of a threat for terrorism then Muslim, Harper continues to point the finger only at Muslims, and refuses to condemn right wing terrorism.

That is racist.

Why is this thread titled 'Conservative Attack Ads"

All parties are....and have been doing it for months.

Liberals have a very selective memory. Their attacks against Harper are paid by by Big Labour because don't have any money.

And I'm guessing no spending limits either.
