By setting the message about a half-cocked minister telling offensive jokes, instead of the CON's culture of dangerous deregulation -- tie in nuclear safety, lowering our pesticide standards to Bush's etc -- we've left this as not a kitchen table talk but water cooler chat.<BR/>We've got to do better.burlivespipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048415779214466831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-326187982942429762008-09-19T23:14:00.000-04:002008-09-19T23:14:00.000-04:00"sigh I will be so hurt."Hang in there."sigh I will be so hurt."<BR/><BR/>Hang in there.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-56828338009252380942008-09-19T21:52:00.000-04:002008-09-19T21:52:00.000-04:00Steve: If I remember correctly the costings were a...Steve: If I remember correctly the costings were analyzed in the 2006 and the NDP costings were acknowledged as the most accurate of the three parties. Harper hadn't included the figures for fixing the fiscal imbalance and there was something(s) in the Liberal platform that put it offside in terms of numbers adding up.
