Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff and Prime Minister Stephen Harper took their campaigns to the West Coast Sunday, whilst their NDP reflection touted his party's summary of change to electorate on the conflicting side of the country.
While Ignatieff appealed to British Columbia electorate with promises to upgrade Canada's open illness system, Harper once once again asked the electorate for a Conservative majority. But on Sunday he used the awaiting of a resurgent government transformation in Quebec to inform against a Liberal-NDP-Bloc Quebecois coalition.
"Step a is to break the country, have a feeble government in Ottawa, and that is other reason we believe Canadians must select a strong, stable, national Conservative most government," Harper told a convene in Richmond.
"The selection is not a merger in the abstract. The selection is really clear. It is between having a feeble Liberal government that will be propped up in power by the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois or having a burly Conservative majority."
Harper's explanation came after Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe addressed the Parti Quebecois's annual gathering in Montreal this weekend, during that Leader Pauline Marois received 93.1 per cent encouragement in a opinion of confidence.
In his speech, Duceppe mentioned a burly fortuitous of Bloc MPs in Ottawa, amalgamated with a PQ government in Quebec, are "the necessary conditions for a referendum." He mentioned the sovereign promotion leaves Quebecers with a selection between the Bloc or a "Canada coalition" that is unmotivated with Quebec's interests.
Harper moreover used his Richmond promotion end to wail his party's immigration remodel policies to an assembly in a zone where two boats containing hundreds of Tamil migrants have landed in new years, operations the government believes were run by human smugglers.
"Human bootlegging gangs are commencement to aim Canada because they increasingly believe our network may be exploited for profit," Harper said. "This is simply not good for Canada and it is grossly unjust to the hundreds of thousands who patiently advance by the correct process."
Nanos Research polls have shown the Conservatives in the lead in B.C. since the start of the campaign. But the most new check expelled Sunday referred to that the Tory lead is now trending downward in the province, even though the celebration still binds an eight-percentage-point value over the Liberals.
Harper touted his party's outline to fissure down on human bootlegging in the form of Bill C-49, that calls for compulsory jail sentences for convicted human smugglers, fines for owners of ships used in bootlegging operations, and boundary the skill of supposed reserve jumpers to unite family members, amid other measures.
After his Sunday sunrise appearances in Vancouver and Richmond, Harper was moreover scheduled to journey to Yellowknife for a convene on Sunday evening.
Meanwhile, during a promotion end in Vancouver, Ignatieff echoed new Liberal promotion ads that indicted Harper of neglecting illness caring during his reign as important minster and bell of large cuts in illness funding. Ignatieff told supporters in Vancouver that a Liberal government would convene a discussion of premiers and territorial leaders for a illness caring zenith inside of 60 days of receiving office.
"The Liberal celebration has done a coherent undertaking to concept open illness caring -- and we will obtain to work right divided as a burly associate to pledge that illness caring is there when we need it," Ignatieff said.
The stream illness acceptance between the sovereign government and the provinces and territories is set to run out in 2014, and Ignatieff mentioned the zenith would help set out a new appropriation arrangement, together with settle "system-wide reforms."
Ignatieff has formerly betrothed to sustain annual six-per-cent increases in health-care transfers to the provinces, and has summarized initiatives to upgrade home caring and medication drug coverage.
"Harper gets in to government and he doesn't take any leadership in illness for 5 years -- nothing," Ignatieff said.
"He puts the 6 per cent in, but there's no leadership to upgrade the system, to work together to make the network work more effectively."
Ignatieff is stability a pitch by B.C. with one-time Liberal important apportion Paul Martin, who negotiated the final illness acceptance in 2004. Ignatieff is moreover relying on Martin's mercantile record during his time as financial minister, when he converted Mulroney-era deficits in to bill surpluses.
Ignatieff will moreover journey to Yellowknife in the evening, as his own celebration competes with Harper's Conservatives to aim the Western Arctic roving hold since 2006 by NDP participant Dennis Bevington.
Green Leader Elizabeth May was due to attend a convene with Vancouver-area possibilities on Sunday evening, before leaving on her supposed "western whistle-stop tour" that will take her by the Rocky Mountains and in to Edmonton and Calgary over the next couple of days.
Layton says NDP the 'choice for change'
Thousands of kilometres away, NDP Leader Jack Layton touted his party's summary of change as he campaigned on the East Coast.
On Sunday, Layton campaigned in Halifax, buoyed by aloft check figures that he attributed to Canadians' certain reply to the "specific, practical" process initiatives the NDP would pierce rapidly to enact should it lead the next government.
Speaking to CTV's Question Period from Halifax, Layton moreover mentioned Canadians are sleepy of conference that they usually have two choices at the list box, Liberal or Conservative, or danger bursting the vote.
"The aged parties always try to discuss it you that the usually thing you can do is select a or the other of them. And nonetheless we think Canadians obviously do not similar to to be told that," Layton said. "They know that on the list they have more choices, and that New Democrats are a celebration that's out there gift that selection for change."
A new Nanos Research poll, conducted for CTV and the Globe and Mail and expelled Sunday morning, showed that NDP encouragement nationally is up to 18.4 per cent, up from 16 per cent early in the campaign.
In Quebec, the NDP are in the lead amid the federalist parties at 19.5 per cent support, with the Conservatives and the Liberals in a shut second and third, respectively.
Layton mentioned Sunday he is "very happy" with the encouragement the celebration is attainment in Quebec, and mentioned he hopes to make great strides in the state of his birth.
"I'm perplexing to emanate the winning conditions for Canada in Quebec," Layton said. "That's what I'm all about. And we think we may be in the process of carrying out that."

Riddle me this: Which Government done the singular largest cut to sovereign transfers to the provinces for healthcare in the final 20 years? And the answer is...drum purpose please...finance apportion Paul Martin beneath the Chretien government in 1995 cut the sovereign part of healthcare from 50 to 12%. Therefore balancing his sovereign bill on the backs or should we say beds of the ill and dying. Later, he went on to rob $40 billion from the polite service and army allowance supports to post a excess and purchase votes for Chretien's final term. Chretien was active backing his pockets with Adscam

@ Niagara George: For heaven's sake, George, it was publicly reported (media) on April 5th that the Organization for Co-operation and Development (OECD) spoken that Canada was now heading the G7 in mercantile growth. Great "research" you did, George. (Now a lot of things are apropos coherent to me with courtesy to your ongoing disregard for me, Mr. Harper, and the Conservatives. Perhaps you're just not as sensitive as you think that you are.) Perhaps you're just not as sensitive as you think that you are.)

Is it protected to hang my head out. lm disturbed about all those Liberals taking flight up.Will l be protected on foot to the polling booth. Do l must be fret about taking flight up Liberals on their insane lurch to the polling station. It was such a biting call forthcoming from Count Iggy. He frightened the ruin out of me. Which is good because l might die getting run over by Liberals taking flight up and rushing to vote.

Michael Ignatieff is going head-to-head with Harper on the west coast. Jack Layton is 6,000 miles divided conversing about his hip. Jack must think the choosing is won. Did somebody dont think about to discuss it him he's 20 points at the back Harper?

NDP and the Liberals apprehension the Long gun Law abolishmnent!!!??
Young electorate do your task
So Ignatieff says that the Conservatives have not asked illness caring whilst in power. How is that? Have they not kept up the annual 6% give payments to the provinces beneath the illness caring agreement. That's what kills me about Ignatieff. he's so full of crap. He never gets called on any of these outlandish lies though. Is that what a personality does when he sees he's losing an election? Does a personality make things up and discuss it lies about the other man in the hopes that the electorate are too dim-witted to know better. Is that the sort of voter Ignatieff is courting? No consternation he wants the girl of today to vote. He knows that they are too young to recollect all the bad things that we had to put up with beneath Chretien and Martin. Hopefully these young electorate will take the time to do a few investigate and they will see by Ignatieff's lies and hypocrisy.
David
This choosing is about a thing. Is this Country going to dive in to the inlet of despair, similar to most inclusive the U.S., or are we going to go on to way up on top of and go on to grow? Having the print child, for downlosding and illness caring cut backs, is truely display what Iggy is all about.
Terry B
Mr. Ignatieff is demonstrating his leadership abilities by mission upon Mommy and Daddy "has beens" to help him with his is sagging campaign. So this is what we can design if he becomes PM or heads a coalition. YIKES if either of these two outcomes occur. Vote for a firm and successful Canada. Vote Conservative majority.

Hey Niagara George, if Iggy is so good why does he not hang to pulling his stage out for people to obtain a good look look at instead of aggressive Harper all the time. Reason is that his stage falls really partial when you crunch the figures and he knows it. What improved way to keep Canadians from really seeking at his stage is to assault Harper with the Liberal lies and spin. we will moreover say, we giggle everytime we read your post. You say your investigate in to a CIA report, give me a break will you. we gamble this reports says the USA is heading the world in liberation in this money dissolve down also. Do a few investigate in to what happens to countries that keep raising taxes and what happens to the jobs in those countries. Then you will know what to design if Iggy is inaugurated PM. I'm late now diagram my CPP but we consternation how many of these young electorate who wish to elect the open-minded will be so cheerful when it is time for them to retire and pull CPP just to discover the CPP sideboard is unclothed since the Liberal receiving the EI CPP surpluse to so called change their budget. Go forward an elect a Liberal government, but when jobs start relocating out of Canada and your taxes keep going up DO NOT START COMPLANING!

I have a subject when Prime Minister Harper gets his Majority can the other 3 parties form a merger and take over Canada. we listened this, this week and it creates me ill to even consider it. Prime Minister Harper needs a Majority so we can end the 3 stuges from wreaking devastation on OUR country.

Whenever we see a posting similar to "Harper is disgusting!" or "Harper=LIES, CORRUPTION and FEAR" two things advance to thoughts right away #1. the Liberal celebration stands for and promotes Hate Speech #2. we consternation if the print is over the age of 12 let alone choosing by casting votes age. Try stating why you dread or do not similar to the other celebration not simply spewing hatred.
Bob,Calgary,Alberta
I am mid and between on this election. While we believe that a burly Harper most is the most appropriate thing is to nation in the evident future it really doesn't compromise our biggest problem: Quebec. If there were a merger with the Libs,NDP and Bloc the Liberals would be forced to give in to Duceppe's demands to assuage the Bloc and sustain their support. This would meant even more money would upsurge from the West and Ontario to Quebec. This might incite the ROC to the fulfilment that the Quebec extort has to end and the usually way is to inquire Quebec to leave confederation. For the long term anticipating a way to obtain Quebec to well-defined and form it's own nation is the most appropriate thing for Canada. We would have ample descend equalization payments, no more Bloc Quebecois, no more fussy and angry from Quebec, and reduction on the whole aggravation. Quebec, on the other hand, would have it's own nation with a of the highest debt loads in the Western world and an unsustainable menu of amicable programs that they will at last noticed that they can't hope to account without the rest of us kicking in. Whichever happens we am a cheerful camper.

Paul Martin saved healthcare? He cut Billions in healthcare give payments downloading expenses onto the Provinces and left them to take the censure whilst he took credit for a offset budget.
Dave in Cold Lake
Victoria, are you severely angry about the GST being cut to 5%. we meant sure, protest about corporate taxation cuts, screw those immorality corporations that give us jobs and all that funny stuff. But the gst at 5% is great for you and I, the small guys. Mad that the Conservatives didn't bail out Nortel? Are you teasing me? Nortel happened in 2004!! See Mr. Dithers pic on top of station next to Chairman Iggy, censure him. How the ruin were the Conservatives supposed to bail out Nortel 2 years before they were in government? Why would you wish any government, handing bailout money to Nortel anyways, recollect the word "Fraud" in that liaison anywhere. What are you going to censure the Conservatives for next?
Tax Dodger
Paul Martin is accusing Harper of gripping his promises Martin made. Martin greatfully discuss it us about office building ships in China. Paul Martin looks similar to a taxation dodger to me.
KJ in Kingston Ontario
Yes - -why do not we bring back Paul ( Mr Dithers ) Martin -- he sure looks good alongside Iggy doesn't he now. It is really loyal as Harper has mentioned that national pulling together is on the Block this time around because a merger of the losers will divide the bottom Conservative supporters similar to nothign else in Canada's history. it would lead to enormous violent behavior against the merger enablers in Quebec that flop to run a national line-up of candidates.
Alexandria
If Mr. Duceppe and the confederation wish a eccentric Quebec to turn a Nation unto it's self fine.A sure way of getting this is to hold the opinion in the other 9 Provinces And Territories. He should comprehend that he must give back anything that the Canadian taxation payer paid for and no a from Quebec can work in Ontario or any other Province. The Natives must be authorised to hold their own opinion to see if they wish to be Quebecers or sojourn Canadian. However this opinion comes out all Native lands will go along with them. this seems similar to a elementary answer to the ongoing Quebec problem.Mr. Duceppe is honest he evidently tells us that he does not wish to be a Canadian. we consternation how he feels when he cashes his Pay Cheque done out by the CANADIAN GOVERNMENT?This is not Quebec bashing it is giving them what they want. Case closed.
Meko8
I do not comprehend how Mr Harper can go on his distortion that if he does't obtain a majority, there will be other election. He does't know the essentials about how our parliamentary network works. If he doesn't obtain a most he will be in a minority . If he gets the largest number of seats , but no most he's going to have to pick up to work with all other M P'S to be able to stay in power. Otherwise ,if he ever loses the certainty of council once again by bringing in the termination of open taxation $ to all diplomatic parties according to the number of votes any gets, he will remove the certainty of the duly inaugurated members is to nonetheless other time. If he tries prorogation once again the Governor General has usually a option. Ask other personality to form a new government. Enough of your lies Mr Harper. Face the song you've created.

One thing has been omitted in this election. we censure it on the media and politicians. Canadians are not really ample upset with problems of majority, minority, or coalitions. Any speak of of these problems as a reason to opinion for a celebration or the other is an insult to Canadian voters. Just recollect they are the ones who voted is to minority government. All they inquire of you is the council that functions. For it to function it must form a government that is capable of running people's business, must pass laws that act for Canadian interests in any case of celebration affiliations. But this leaves Canadians with a complaint "frequent and indeterminate elections" Come to consider it, roughly all these elections are a outcome of diplomatic parties' disaster to consent on fundamental issues. And infrequently since the ruling party's disaster to compromise.Since minority governments are here to stay, ammendments to our parliamentary network are necessary: ONE we need a prearranged choosing date. No elections may be hold before this date, SECOND the PM can select any person to be a member of the cabinet, and cabinet appointments must be granted by the parliament. THIRD cabinet members cannot opinion on motions presented by the government in the parliament. FOURTH, in case of the VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE the entire cabinet in addition to the PM must resign. The ruling celebration will select a new personality who will turn an meantime PM and form a cabinet. FIFTH if the opinion of no certainty is a outcome of CONTEMPT of council citation, then the depressed PM shall be criminialized from running is to PM's job again.These ammendments will force parties to meet halfway and retaliate usually the ruling parties. More importantly will discard not essential elections.
WestofTheRockies
@Dave in Qc. - Right-wing or severe media in Quebec who cares? In the rest of Canada it's unquestionably left. However as your check shows, you in Quebec keep throwing your opinion away, choosing by casting votes for a celebration who can never acheive anything for you. Time to empty the bar and journey this country. It's not anything similar to they keep revelation you, but as long as you lay at home or the bar getting more information their credentials and listening to their headlines you will always think the same thing and your check will always be the same. Poll them once again see how many have journeyed Canada. I'll gamble the same number that have not is really shut to the number choosing by casting votes is to Bloc. Oh before you boot my comment....... we have journeyed at length in Quebec (Canada also) and not just in large centres similar to Monteal or Quebec City.

Prof. Pye Chartt-After mulroney ran up massive debts, Mr. Martin done the difficult decisions that finished up saving illness caring in Canada. Maybe we must be bring back mr. Martin to save us once again after Harper is done.
James
Here's my prophecy - you'll see the NDP hold Outremont and take Gatineau. This will eventually lead to the NDP being seen as a viable opponent party. we outline on choosing by casting votes NDP and we know of a number of other people who are flipping their votes due to Ignatieff being the personality of the Liberal Party. By the time the Liberal Party turfs Ignatieff as their personality it may just be too late as Layton is usually picking up speed and encouragement in Quebec. Besides...once Layton retires, you'll expected see Muclair as the next personality and then watch the seats flip to NDP in Quebec.
James in Vanier
To all the people conversing about Harper spending money to make his Gov't look good, we have two words. "Sponsorship Scandal" and the other thing we have to say, when Harper mentioned he would descend the GST he obviously did, just similar to Chretien did...oh wait for other Liberal LIE! Iggy has been out of Canada too long, and when he loses and the NDP turn the Official Opposition we will see where you stand. The liberals are just watchful for Justin Trudeau to walk in on his father's fame, and serve ruin the party.
Mike in ON
Jack Layton has the easiest job in Canada - he's similar to a weatherman - you do not have to be right, and your job and allowance are still safe. He knows that he'll never form a government, and his supporters do not appear to care. Ignatieff, in my opinion, just did major damage to his promotion by bringing out the 'old boys club' that his celebration was SUPPOSED to be enmity itself from. Additionally, every shot he takes at Harper seems to indicate back to an insistance that he done since the final choosing in a entirely conflicting way: "We NEED a impulse package!" / "You have the biggest shortage EVER!!!" or how about "Guergis should be private IMMEDIATELY!" / "Harper treated with colour her badly!" Then, to top it all off, he wants us to believe that Harper is 'undemocratic,' whilst Iggy was never nominated in his riding, and never faced the full celebration membership in his leadership campaign, and assumingly supports the 'vote mob' we saw final week. All in all, I'm excellent with Harper as PM - but personally, Ignatieff scares the heck out of me. Seems that Tennyson was right - those who cannot, teach. Guess you'll be ready is to new students in September, right Iggy?
Jim-Surrey
This is the usually time you will see Federal Liberals in BC, we instead obtain abandoned by them!Go back East Iggy and grasp a craft south on a one-way ticket!

Martin and Ignatieff both look similar to they are in suffering in that picture, are they seeking at the Nanos polls results?
Niagara George
@ Prof. Pye Chartt and others - Our buddy has used the over-worked Conservative line, "... we're now heading the G7 in mercantile growth." You Cons have used that so often, you must think it is true. we have searched the internet seeking for proof... all to no avail. What we have found is the American Central Intelligence Agency's Country Comparison. That tells me Canada is in 126th place for GDP - Real Growth Rate. If you can infer otherwise, greatfully let me know. The way we see it, the NDP and Liberals are far too easy on the Con spin. Everything Harper and his cohorts say is an complete phony or is a complete stretching or perplexity of reality. The who may be shabby easily, purchase in to the stories, without researching for themselves. We need a personality who has a prophesy that involves more than carrying out all he can to earn the power he so desperately believes is his legitimate reward.
Sean
Ian mentioned "I have a subject for Paul V. Why are Liberals so vigilant on swelling all the BS about the cuts to healthcare"It's because it is all they have. Knowing the fact about Ignatieff, Paul Martin and Jean Chretien would meant bargain what they have been denied for so long, the truth. Most Liberals can't unclothed to look inward, and see the debase within. Like Paul Martin's dwindle of convenience. If you owned a Canadian Shipping Company wouldn't you fly Bahamas's National Flag to prevent profitable Canadian taxes? Not to speak of the subsequent to perks: 1. Ease of registration, 2. Looser environmental laws and regulations, 3. Lower labour standards, 4. Secrecy.

Demanding improved in AB
To All Canadians: Set your narrow-minded views in reserve for two more weeks and press all celebration leaders and possibilities on how they will make Canada better. The integrity, certitude and competency of all politicians is at an extraordinary low. in my opinion nothing of the parties have shown Canadians how they are going to successfully make this a better, stronger country. This is our chance as electorate to urge better. And then once the votes are throw we can act as narrow-minded as we wish because nothing may be done for other 4 (or so) years.
Mike in Pembroke
@Pat in Ontario, you are vouchsafing your loathe front PM Harper blind you. You feel so burly about the liberals and what Chretien/Martin did for Canada. Let me say this. I'm now late and diagram CPP after many, many years of profitable in to it and we just hope that when it is time for you to pull CPP that there is something in it to draw. If the CPP is vanished before you obtain to pull from it you can censure Chretien/Martin for receiving the CPP surpluse and personification a bombard diversion with it so they could say they offset the budget. Do we certitude Iggy, not on your life. READ Sean comments, so true!

So, the promotion continues . . . It is getting roughly laughable to watch the Liberals and NDP roughly come together up to take the written shots at the Tories, and then turn on any other! Talk about bursting the left, wow. While we admire Jack's everlasting enthusiasm, there is a diplomatic reality out there, his celebration is siphoning votes from the other severe gang, the Liberals. It does make for engaging TV, though! Regardless of politics, however, we have great apply oneself and adulation is to tiresome report of Jack Layton back and onward across the country, debates,etc. You are inspiring to people who have to bring on, notwithstanding wanting time to reanimate from illness. Kudos, Jack, and great illness to you!

Young electorate are not upset about illness caring , its not on their radio detector yet, they are upset about jobs, the mood and the mountainous expenses of education. So choosing by casting votes doesnt fascination them. This time around we feel by not choosing by casting votes that it tells the parties that they are not estimable of a vote, nor are they estimable of me station in line to vote. I'd rsther than stay in bed. Its a unhappy day for Canada when attitudes against choosing by casting votes run the gammit,, but there is no a to censure but the leaders themselves. They have shown no eagerness to work together, their explanations of what they mount for are at most appropriate pathetic, and for Iggy to draw towards in 2 aged Liberal has beens shows how unfortunate he is. As far as we am upset Iggy could entice the Pope and he would be no improved off. Jack does his most appropriate but will never be PM, as his celebration is too socialist. So Its Conservatives for me, improved to go with someone who has lead the celebration well by a difficult mercantile crisis. Its time for Iggy to return to the US as he is unquestionably "not here for Canada. "
Pam in Waterloo
It's getting so irksome to listen to the Liberal fearmongering. There is no indication whatsoever that Conservatives will touch healthcare. In fact all the indication points to the opposite: It was the Liberals beneath Chretien who gutted healthcare funding, and Martin who bragged about his great excess when hospitals were vagrant for money, wait for times were skyrocketing, and people were living in pain. What was the excess for? To account their friends in Adscam? Canadian healthcare suffered really bad beneath the Libs. The Conservatives brought wait for times down and stablized the appropriation so hospitals could outline their budgets. There's still a ways to go, but things have unquestionably improved. Experience tells us DONT TRUST THE LIBERALS with our healthcare! They attempted to snuff out it before, and they'll snuff out it once again if they obtain back in. [x] regressive most is the usually way to save our system.
allan
The NDP dont have a chance to form a government, and the Liberals are obviously inventing process on a day to day basement , with nothing considered out really well. The usually selection we see is a regressive most to keep the 3 stooges from branch Canada in the Cuba of the north.

When you obtain past the all the rhetoric, the ridiculous spin and the tiresome publication styled journalism, the usually coherent selection for is a most Conservative government. Prime Minister Harper has proven himself over the final 5 years. Time to give him a majority.
George M
Polls have been conform to in display more than 60% of Canadians do not wish Harper. The most appropriate answer is an opponent coalition, at least we would have a government that represented the most of Canadians. Harper can't work with any person so he should be private from politics. Harper would improved serve the tea celebration down south.

Harper is disgusting!
N. Jurgenson (Brampton)
I will not opinion is to Liberals. we won't opinion NDP as we do not consent with the communal ism Layton talks about. As a Roman Catholic we must follow the philosophy of my conviction and steer clear of the Liberals who gave us abortion, gay marriage, redefined the ancestral normal clarification of wedding and they refused to elevate the age of consent to safeguard our children. They in hint trashed our Judeo Christian enlightenment and birthright to provide to special fascination groups or attempted to. The Liberals are evidently out of sync and unsuitable with the teachings of Christ and the Catholic church. Not that the Liberals caring about that, they don't. we be insulted the Liberals for trashing our heritage. we will opinion with the Conservatives as they have members who are of a amicable regressive collapsed and believe as we do being a Roman Catholic.

@ Prof. Pye Chartt Actually Paul Martin saved Canadians millions per day in fascination by using excess EI supports to slay the deficit. Harper increased the shortage by more than 100 billion, Harper's withdraw expenses Canadians about 16 million per day in interest. So that is it Pye would you rsther than pay the outrageous fascination or have the liberals change the budget? we perfer a offset budget, something the conservatives have never done. The liberals ran uninterrupted offset budgets. Harper blew the 13 billion excess then created over 100 billion in debit. Opposition parties usually concluded to 13 billion is impulse spending, Harper must have paste in his calculator.

Would you think you would feel entitled to pierce back and take over? Iggy does.

On May 3 great for Canada will be the regressive government with a marked down chair count, losing their minority government status. Proving the Harper government cannot purchase a open broad election. Proving you order promotion signs for your possibilities months forward of everybody else, then station to say "we didn't wish an election" does not work. Proving if we outlay a record 27 million compelling government process as our own does not sell. Proving that disastrous person assault ads on other leaders with reduction than the total photo of may partial truths at most appropriate does not work. Proving that if totally manage of the promotion from the who hears the message. Who gets to asks questions and usually the people we prescreen obtain access fails in the eyes of Canadian voters. Proving you cannot purchase a roving feat by just trace money around similar to candy. Then that will be a great day for Canada. Anything else even with a win, cannot be a feat for Canada.

When someone refers to Chretien/Martin "getting the job done," are they conversing about engineering a spell excess by slicing give payments to the provinces and territories, and then downloading sovereign expenses (which shop-worn healthcare services), siphoning the E.I. account and C.P.P. fund, slashing civil-service jobs, gripping the revenue-rich GST after the Liberals betrothed to embankment it, slicing important army supplies (which finished up embarrassing our brave men and women in Afghanistan at the outset), and happily reaping the corporate-tax benefits stemming from the Conservatives' NAFTA? Hmm. Based on the Liberals' stream station in the polls, I'd say that Canadians are substantively agreeable a "No thanks" for that "job." With courtesy to the deficit, certain folk should be wakeful that this small rare global mercantile retrogression came along, and, moreover, that the Opposition energetically upheld (read: forced, threatened) and APPROVED the Conservatives' budgetary and mercantile impulse measures that predominantly contributed to mentioned deficit. Thankfully, however, we're now heading the G7 in mercantile growth. Good stuff.

Soon it will all be over, we will be seeking back and asking ourselves - Green Party Who? We will see a sorryful Iggy, with reduction seats, and he'll be blaming Canadians for not ancillary him. Taliban Jack will have more seats, but, partial of ever being the celebration of opposition. Our Prime Minister will mount in the house, with the most to guide Canada is to next 5 years - (without apprehension of a merger upset). Canada will have a new day of mass on May the 3, 2011. Can you suppose the Liberals bringing our Chretien Martin to photo op with Count iGNATIEFF. All these corpse is help Canadians open their eyes to the awful antics of their diplomatic past. ADSCAM ~ GOLF COURSE SHARES ~ ROBBING OF U.I. ~ OWNING CANADA STEAM SHIP LINES AND PAY NOT $1 DOLLAR TAXES ~ THIS LIST GOES ON FOLKS ! Canada has a hope for her tomorrows and it's a "CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY". Try it Canada, you will similar to it, and appreciate yourself every day after May 2nd.

Harper doesn't wish other choosing after this one. Canada can't means it. Well then Harper...just remove your celebration from the choosing or when you are a minority celebration just do not force other choosing as you did this time due to your contempt. If you were given a Majority we all know you may never hold other choosing time and if you did it would be usually if you were forced to. If partial power corrupts you...Absolute Power would turn you in full crime in all you do.

to Ian: remorseful but your Mr. Harper was in preference of illness caring privatization before he came in to power 5 years ago, and we cannot certitude him with a most and our illness caring system. Canadians did not certitude him 5 years ago so what has he done that is so wonderful that we should certitude him now. Because he mentioned he will not touch illness caring we should believe him. Listen, how is the Harper Government going to discard a $52 billion shortage in 4 years without shortening expenses or stepping up taxes. Until Harper can advance out of his burble and discuss it canadians how he will reduce the shortage then we cannot certitude him with a majority. It is time we obtain an honest answer!

Victoria mentioned "They let Nortel die. Avery important hi-tech company. A world personality in research, but shelled out billions to rescue US formed auto companies." Nortel was over help and received a massive rescue loan part of that was supplied by Export Development Canada, just days after Harper was elected. It was intended to casing their outstanding loan payments in an bid to keep Nortel afloat. However , Nortel was not able to to pay back any part of the $1.3 BILION loan and all of the creditors On top of the new EDC supports there was an outstanding $168 million. This from the Nortel News Release February 14, 2006" As of January 31, 2006, there was approximately US$168 million of outstanding encouragement employed beneath the EDC Support Facility." How ample more money would you have Harper throw in to a liner that is already sunk. As is to auto makers ... All of the sovereign parties concluded to bail out the CANADIAN operations of the automakers. and as of final year all of those loans have been repaid we believe. In lending that money the government saved thousands of Canadian jobs and at least two plants that were scheduled for permanent closure. As for travelers, or Canadians living abroad, many of whom usually stayed in Canada long sufficient to obtain their citizenship and then changed back to their home country. How many and that ones do you introduce the government rescue. When do we as adults pick up that we are accountable for our activities and we can't always design a few a else to bail us out.

Jack has my vote.

On the upside, we'll never have to worrry about the NDP combining a national government. They're living up to their expected purpose of receiving votes from the Liberals, thus more or reduction assuring a Conservative majority. Thanks Happy Jack. Keep on gripping on.
Doug from BC
After lots of research, thought, and soul searching, we have reached a conclusion, that we never, ever, considered we would make, on who we am choosing by casting votes for. At this indicate in time we am a member of the Liberal Party, but we will be resigning inside of the next hour. The reason for this change is the inclusion of the two one-time Liberal Leaders in this campaign. we am astounded that Iggy has not had PET exhumed and put on the stage with him. we believe that the Liberal Party has changed so far to the left, that they have transfered the NDP. we moreover believe that the NDP has changed to the right and insincere the aged Liberal position. The usually hope is to Liberal Party is a abrasive defeat and a complete deputy of the celebration brain trust, and maybe then, they can reconstruct out of the ashes. we am hoping that Jack is going to be the new personality of the opponent and we believe that due to the Liberal personality and his campaign, Harper will obtain his majority.

The Grampa Coalition is similar to the Lawn bowling championships boring.

I think Jack Layton would have been our next important apportion had he been the personality of Liberal party. He was of course the strongest in the debate's. Harper is as chilled as ice. If he wins God help our illness caring system. He is for sure stealing a lot. Reporters are kept as far divided as probable so they can't inquire inqusitive questions.
Rudy Haugeneder
Health caring is a key situation amid the elderly, they say. But will people obtain out to opinion or is Canada heading towards other record low voter appearance -- the most expected outcome -- notably amid younger voters? Youth are more upset about the global mood and effect of Climate Change than their younger counterparts. You would think this would bring them to the choosing by casting votes booths to encouragement the celebration and/or possibilities that concentration on this vicious issue. Former Liberal personality Stephane Dion attempted to make the mood a key stage situation and unsuccessful miserably, amid all ages but, not often and sadly, notably amid younger voters. As a result, his celebration moreover threw him out. Does that meant the usually way to obtain electorate in to the choosing by casting votes counter is the aged standby, global War involving millions of troops? It would appear so. It's just a matter of anticipating a inestimable army opponent that will shock people sufficient to vote. Meanwhile, it might help if there is new blood in Parliament and that's why a can hope the Green Party of Canada, led by Elizabeth May, will win a couple of seats on May 2.

Go BC! You can do it! Stop other needless election! Give the Conservative at least a a chair most in parliament. Save the nation millions of dollars that will be misused by the coalition.
Green NOT
When will Elizabeth May say opinion Liberal ?

when the choosing is over, maybe martin can give iggy a float to france on a of his panamanian registerd ships, with their filipino crews geting paid inexpensive wages. so dont evangelise to me that the liberals are is to people of canada.

I have a subject for Paul V. Why are Liberals so vigilant on swelling all the BS about the cuts to healthcare. Are you not able to see when you are being sole a bill of goods? There has been surely no EVIDENCE that Harper is going to cut healthcare. He has mentioned time and time once again that he is going to sustain the 6% appropriation increases to the provinces. Why do you believe a man similar to Ignatieff who has been caught in lies (I never voted outward of Canada, unless Britain is considered outward of Canada) or a man who calls himself the winner of democracy but was not even inaugurated as your celebration personality but was selected by the upper administration of the party. A man with so ample apply oneself for democracy that he objects when a of the possibilities has a complaint with an without official authorization special list that appears to be in breach of choosing laws. Or a man who says he respects Parliament but can't be bothered to uncover up more than 30% of the time. Or a man who claims to be a loyal Canadian but is quoted as mission himself "an American Democrat". Or a man who decries the use of assault ads but puts out a of the most appropriate I've seen in a long time. Or a man who brings out the Big Guns similar to Martin and Chretien that will usually remind Canadians of Adscam and how Paul Martin raided the UI fund, Public Servant's Pension plan, illness caring appropriation and so on to change the budget. So It seems to me that Liberals have to start seeking at their personality and inquire themselves if it's really who they believe is most appropriate for their celebration and is to country.
Dave in Qc.
Funny thing happened at our curling bar the other dusk at our closing. 30 of us sitting around easily deliberating the choosing promotion so we did a rapid poll. 13 choosing by casting votes bloq, 10 liberal, 5 ndp and 2 conservative. Nanos your quebec #s are fraudulent along with your whole rolling check concept. The right wing manage the media in this nation and by attempting to execute the Cons in the lead all the time you hope to fool canadians in to choosing by casting votes is to "popular" party.
David in Dartmouth
Jack.....of the No Different Party, your buddy Mr. Dexter marked down my pension, lied to us...his Finance Minister Graham Steele continues to distortion to us, your participant Mr. Chisholm who was parachuted in to our roving has surely no credibility..!!! You and your celebration belong back in the chapel basements, we will take our revenge on Mr. Chisholm at the list box and cannot wait for to correct the inapplicable designation that was done here in 2009. By the way Jack, we turfed out Joan Massey in that choosing for non performance. We return to either Liberal or Conservative....at least you know what you are getting!!
Halifax Voter
There are really couple of ridings in Nova Scotia that aren't already foregone conclusions. Having Jack here, says more about the NDP being on counterclaim than on offence. Unfortunately, Greater Halifax will expected once once again be on the outward seeking in, as Prime Minster Harper is staid to form a most government. While he deserves it, Halifax moreover deserves a few attention, and without a Conservative Caucus member, that will be hard.
Canada at Risk!
Coalition has all the elements of wrecking the country.
Stop the BS
I consternation if this small girl knows that she is being used by jack Layton to emanate a nice photo op for him. we do not really have a complaint with it, nor do we have a complaint with a couple of people being asked to skirt in their informative wardrobe at a diplomatic rally, but a few people assumingly do. Politicians have been carrying out this for decades but unexpectedly it got the opponent parties all collapsed out of shape. The exaggeration in this promotion is disturbing, and sickening. The opponent doesn't wish to concentration on their platform, as was blatantly evident in the debates final week. They wish to simply discuss it Canadians that Stephen Harper is a really bad man and they will bob to new levels every day to do so. Ignatieff mission him undemocratic for doubt why there was an unapproved, improperly run special list at a University. All the whilst unwell to recall that his Liberals had done the really same thing in the 2006 choosing when the NDP had set up an same special list at the University of Toronto. Michael Ignatieff likes to condemn Harper for not accurately checking the background of his employees when he himself has 2 possibilities that have done argumentative explanation with a being the one-time head of a white supremacist group. Didn't look similar to a really in depth check was done on these two guys. All this things happens all the time but let's end the diplomatic posturing and run the promotion on the issues.

Quote "Canadians are sleepy of spliting the vote" 3 ways two or four? Make up your mind.
Anthony
For Jack Layton, a vocation politician, meaning that he done his good living by being paid by taxpayers, redistributing riches of those who warranted to those who did not is easy - he never had to earn it either.
Paul V
Vote bursting on the left will lead to a Harper most and drop of Canada's healthcare system. Electoral network remodel will have to be a priority in the MEDIUM term to prevent such a unfolding from repeated down the road. In the SHORT term, the objective must be elementary politically militant: Defeat Harper. To free-for-all future diplomatic battles, we must initial tarry the day. We face an frightful hazard and we cannot danger delay. Liberal is the answer THIS time; however we wish electoral network remodel and improved NDP illustration IMMEDIATELY after we FIRST defeat the paramount hazard to Canada - i.e. Harper.
RC
Not startling Layton went the conflicting direction. He's done out west after betraying gun owners with that keep the gun registry vote. The lib's...this is just window sauce and probably a daze to tally iggy to have to descend himself to make appearence out west when everybody knows Lib's actual stadium is still that appeaseing Quebec to obtain inaugurated thing.
SK Small Businessman
Jack's carrying out an excellent job of receiving out the Liberal opinion - Ignatieff is just not devoted by many people who do not wish to see Obama-style economics brought here...
Steph
I believe Mr Layton should be given the opportunity to be the opponent Leader with a most regressive and Iggy going back to Harvard. During both debates the discourse was issuing obviously improved between PM Harper and Mr. Layton whilst Iggy was foaming at the mouth with his rants and lust for power. As for Gilles Duceppe we must confess that he is a expert statesman but fighting the incorrect cause!
Tyler Moosejaw - NO NDP!
Saskatchwan was a HAVE NOT state getting equalization payments beneath the NDP. Under Conservative Leader Brad Wall and his Saskatchewan Party, Saskatchwan is a HAVE state profitable billions in to equalization. New Childrens Hospital jobs this are good time. Never opinion NDP
Fact Check
Ignatieff Liberal Rise up debate sounds similar to beneath a merger what would happen. Unemployment - Rise Up Interest rates - Rise Up Spending - Rise Up Taxes - Rise Up we think that is what he is conversing about.
Rise Up - Ottawa
Rise Up....it's all about democracy..yep it is Liberal Ignatieff forthcoming from a who has longed for 70% of the votes in the residence of commons...yet wants Canadians out there to opinion Liberal...I think "NOT" you are not major to wish the keys to 24 Success as you would uncover up...absolutely not..methinks when this is over you will either return to the USA or to your Villa in France...
Vote 4 Canada
Jack Layton is enjoying his 15 days of fame. Soon it will be all over as Canadians head to the polls to elect a accountable firm government - a burly Conservative mandate to sustain the growth we have made. A opinion for Jack is nice but its a opinion for a Bloc merger and the same for Ignatieff and we will face other election. A perfidious Bloc merger is just not an decent option for Canadians to consider.
Victoria
I recall when the Conservatives cut the GST we considered "Are they nuts . . .the manage to buy is branch downward . . .how are they going to change the budget?" We all know now that they did not! To increase insult to damage they moreover cut the taxation to large corporations, where most investors are from outward of the nation and do not pay taxes. They let Nortel die. Avery important hi-tech company. A world personality in research, but shelled out billions to rescue US formed auto companies. As new as final week we listen to that large high tech firms outward of Canada are shopping up Nortel patents with no benefits to Canadians. Thousands of Nortel Workers were left hi dehydrated with their pensions with no help from the "Harper Government". When the Conservative went in to power we were working on bill excess and profitable down the debt. Now we are in a massive shortage with the national debt out of control. Before Harper, a Canadian traveling abroad and having a legal complaint could rest on help from the Canadian embassy. Now that help is really hard to get. Before Harper Canada had a great repute in the world. Now we are usually well known for a good promissory note network . . . . . interjection to the Liberals who had already put in the rules. And they design me to certitude my future to them? Not a chance
Loss of Heart Patient - Ottawa
Hope "swaggert" Ignatieff would way up to the event and remove the Hear Ad it is a really disturbing ad to say the least..anyone sitting alongside a desired a examination the guard on a and then unexpectedly end knows the heartache. This is no way that this man or his Liberal Party should be carrying out to try and obtain votes this way...totally illiterate on their part...
Jim Lad
What the heck did the Greens do with all of the government money they got? I've listened roughly nothing from them.
