The Fundamentals of Our Economy are Strong...The St. Thomas Truck Plant Closing Version

Daimler AG has announced today that up to 1400 jobs will be lost at the St. Thomas truck plant. Jim Flaherty says Ontario ain't so good to invest in and the economy is fine.

Jim Flaherty to Supplant John Tory

With statements like these, Jim Flaherty is a natural to be the Provincial Conservative leader. Who does this guy think he is telling the McGuinty government what to put in their budget? The same guy that left Ontario with a $6 billion deficit when he left office.

Seriously. This country is in for a major financial crisis with this guy and this federal government at the helm.

Here a Budget, There a Budget, Everywhere a Budget

There's no end to the recklessness of this government. None whatsoever. Mon Dieu. What it won't do to try to get an election.

How many budgets can a person have in 12 months? My guess? 3.

Creative tax cutting 101. On your first annual budget, increase the Liberal personal income tax rate from 15% to 15.5%. Then, in your fiscal update, make it sound like another budget in the same year as the first budget. Then, announce a personal income tax cut in your fiscal update to 15% from 15.5%...the same as it was in 2005 under the previous government and call it genius.

As for the GST cut? Well, I'm quite certain the thousands of economists around the country are already in disagreement. $5.4 billion a year could have went a long way for municipalities, health care, child care, the environment, etc. Oh well. I'm sure the CONS have some kind of smoke screen for those issues.

The corporate big brothers and the upper class continue to open the gap on poverty in the country.

I for one will be reaping the benefits of my extra $18 per month to support my Starbucks addiction.

McCallum Says We'll Fight

It's interesting that John McCallum stated that this morning on Canada AM.

What I really found even more interesting was the Premier of Nova Scotia's comment: "But until I see something signed and on paper,I won't be pleased."

Um. Don't you already have a signed piece of paper that ain't worth doo doo?

These "stale" Conservatives sure have a funny way of making all the provinces happy.
