We also are not impressed by Mr. Dion's plan-- and general attitude -- in regard to Canada's economic challenges. In recent days, he truly has sounded like a hysteric, trying to convince Canadians that our relatively sound economy is on the brink of a cataclysmic depression.This one's a no-brainer, folks. You can go with the party of more taxes and more social workers... or the steady hand that has, despite being a minority government, steered us safely through the shoals to this point.
There is no evidence of this: Indeed, the latest economic numbers on jobs and growth are excellent. And as a stack of reports from our major banks attest, the fundamentals of our real estate market bear no comparison to America's sub-prime mess.
Indeed, the only thing that could tip this country into full-blown depression is wide-scale investor panic of the type Mr. Dion seems intent on fomenting.
I'm gonna go with the guy who isn't screaming about the "sky falling" down on our heads.
