Still not as bad as the libs under Chretien or should as say the libs in general. Power will corrupt any party anyway. The Torie will still be getting my vote.

For those with a short memory;

Liberal Party history
The Liberals have evolved the practice of denial to a new level, even
completely ignoring their major blunders such as:

EH-101 HELICOPTER CANCELLATION FIASCO: Upon taking power in 1993, the
Liberals killed a contract to replace the aging Sea King military
helicopters. Few remember the cancellation cost taxpayers a $500
million penalty. Chretien, Martin and the Liberals persisted in
denying their failure to get adequate replacements for the aging Sea
King helicopters used by the navy for maritime search and rescue. The
40-year-old, accident-prone Sea King choppers are still in use.

CFPSA/PSSA/RCMP Pension funds: Paul Martin made a name for reducing
the national debt, many Canadians are unaware, the Liberals did this
by taking the surplus (AKA-good management) of the Military, RCMP and
Public Service pension funds and using it to publicly demonstrate
they reduced debt.

HEALTH CARE: While the Liberals portray themselves as the
guardians of our national health care system, it was Martin's $25 billion cuts to
health care funding when he was finance minister in the early 1990s
that led to the crises in the health care system today.

TAINTED BLOOD SCANDAL: Millions of dollars in federal funding was not
transferred to victims; therefore many victims have died.

RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL ABUSE CLAIMS: Of the $200 mil. spent on claims
administration; only $38 million went to the victims.

PENSION FUNDS LOST: Military veteran's and widow's of veterans lost
their pension funds to the Liberal govt.

EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FUND SCANDAL: $44 billion in excess
contributions were placed in a Reserve Fund which was contrary to the federal
government's own guidelines.

LAX IMMIGRATION STANDARDS: The feds can't find thousands of failed
refugee claimants, some with links to terrorism and organized crime .

TRANSPORTATION FUNDS LOST: Under the Liberals, our national air and
rail carriers live from one crisis to crisis. Yet the federal govt.
gathers billions of dollars in fuel tax revenues while investing very
little into transportation infrastructure. Our roads need improvement.

BUYING ADVICE: Liberals spent $6.5 billion annually on outside
consultants - to buy "advice" which is largely available from within
the public service during their rule

2000 FUEL REBATE: A botched $1.4 billion heating fuel rebate program
doled out cash to the wrong Canadians. At that time, Minister of
Finance, Paul Martin, announced the gift just before the 2000 federal
election. The Auditor General later discovered that as little as 18%
made its way to low income Canadians. Some rebates went to dead
people, some to prisoners and students who were living at home and
didn't pay heating bills.

2000 HRDC: Calling accounting problems "widespread and serious," the
auditor general revealed in 2000 that $1 billion was mismanaged
in job creation grants handled by Human Resources Development Canada, under
Minister Jane Stewart. A recreation of the paper trail later found
only a few million was improperly disbursed.

2002 CHALLENGER JETS: The Liberal government spent $101 million on
luxury Challenger jets deemed unnecessary by officials at the
Department of National Defence. An Auditor General's report said the
purchase was rushed through on the last day of the fiscal year in
2002 which broke purchasing rules.

1995-2005 GUN REGISTRY: Originally forecast to cost $2 million in
1995, the Auditor General predicted in 2003 that actual costs would
escalate to $1 billion by 2004-2005. Calculations now suggest the
costs have actually ballooned to $2 billion. While the gun registry
makes "paper criminals" of law-abiding Canadians and tracks them, the
same law does not call for tracking real criminals with firearms
prohibition orders issued against them. Liberal firearms laws have
done nothing in a decade to improve our revolving door justice
system.

COALITION FOR GUN CONTROL: The Liberal government secretly funds the
supposedly (non-governmental organization) Coalition for Gun Control
which then lobbies the federal government for stricter gun control laws.

2003 RADWANSKI AFFAIR: Inadequate oversight and spending controls
allowed former privacy commissioner George Radwanski to rack up
thousands of tax dollars in lavish lunches and luxury travel. The
auditor general also found that Radwanski and executive staff were
improperly cashing out vacation, overbidding for expenses and
creating a hostile work environment.

2004 SPONSORSHIP: The auditor general revealed that up to $100
million of the $250 million federal sponsorship program went to Liberal-
friendly advertising firms for little or no work. The program was
established to boost the national profile in Quebec after the 1995
referendum on sovereignty. However, a new figure of $355 million is
from the forensic accounting firm, Kroll Lindquist Avey. This
firm has looked in the past for money from such people as Saddam Hussein, the
Marcos family and de-throned Panamanian strong man Manuel Noriega. It
would be wise to have them look for money trails in the gun registry
as well. And don’t forget the former MP who should have gone to
jail, but instead became our representative to Italy…

"GREAT BUMWAD FIASCO": The Liberal government bought the Weston
Inc. owned toilet paper plant, an eyesore property across from the Parliament
Bldgs for $36 million. It was to be the a site of a future park. The
Liberal govt. then leased it back to the original owner for 25 years.

BLUENOSE GRANT: A $2.3 million Bluenose grant was allocated by the
Liberals but $1.9 million has been siphoned off by an ad agency.

FAILURE TO COLLECT GST: A seven year failure of the Liberal govt. to
collect GST resulted in fraud of over $1 billion lost through loop-
holes.

"MEDICAL MARIJUANA BUST": Ottawa's $5.5 million contract with Prairie
Plant Systems to produce "medical marijuana" for registered users was
a bust. The active ingredient was so low that the "weak" pot had few
therapeutic benefits and little monetary value, yet cost tax payers
over $15,000 per ounce to produce.

"PRIVATE" GOVERNMENT FOUNDATIONS: The Liberal govt. stashed untold
$billions in "private" government foundations which are hidden
from public
scrutiny and beyond the reach of the Auditor General and Privacy
Commissioner

CSL, CANADIAN STEAMSHIP LINES: Paul Martin circumvented Canadian
health, labour and safety standards by re-flagging ships from his
former company CSL. Martin fired the Canadian crews on his CSL ships
and replaced them with cheap foreign labour. He registered his assets
off-shore in Barbados to avoid paying his fair share of Canadian
taxes. Also there was $161 million in federal development money paid
to CSL which was "unknown" to Paul Martin.

These are some reasons Canadians must tell the Liberals we are not
interested in their belief that they are best for Canada by
electing a strong and majority Conservative government, as it is starting to
look, in an election forced by Mr Ignatieff. Parliament is not
working because Mr Ignatieff is preventing it from working.

I am not impressed with liberals either. My vote is for the NDP incumbant in my riding, looks like he will get in again. NDP will do well in this election but that will probably help the conservatives. Oh well. Certainly am no fan of the long gun registry.

Voting NDP is to endorse the long gun registry. Jack LAyton Whipped his caucus to vote for keeping it. Wether your local candidate "claimed" to be against it is immaterial since the NDP do not allow free votes. Don't complain when your gun ownership rights gradually erode to the point where all you can own is a single shot shotgun.

I certainly do not vote based on one issue. I'm sure there are many aspects of the Conservative platform you don't support Terry but you feel the majority best suit what you believe. To each his own, that is democracy.

-In a Steven harper majority will we see the hard core values of the far-right, anti-medicare National Citizens Coalition rise up? The rich will get the best health care, damn the rest. Let's grow the gap between rich and poor.

-Watch the further erosion if democracy. Harper stated he would get rid of the Candadian Wheat Baord "one way or another" This kind of strategy is evident throughout in a leaked Conservative manual designed to disrupt parliamentary committees; in his firing or muzzling parliamentary watchdogs (including Linda Keen for nuclear safety); in stacking the Senate allowing unelected senators to defeat MP Bruce Hyer's Bill C-311 on climate change (passed by the elected House) without debate, etc etc etc. The list goes on and on.

-The Harper Government was found in contempt of Parliament for refusing to reveal needed information resulting in the present election. It is his way or no way. He has promised with a majority to eliminate parliamentary subsidies to political parties based on the number of votes they receive, another blow to democracy as the Conservative party with the richest voters will always be ahead financially. Do we really want the wealthy governing for the wealthy?

-Harper does nothing to elleviate poverty. The Harper government inherited a 13 billion surplus from the previous government yet immediately cut programs to combat poverty. In 2009 a bipartisan Senate committee made 74 recomendations to end poverty in Canada, all rejected by Harper goverment.

The NDP are trying to alleviate poverty for laid off workers and with Bill C-501 get laws in place to safegaurd pensions and severence when companies go into bankruptcy. Sorry but trickle down economics is not the way to go, look at the US for a prime example.

Yes, I wish the gun registry was dead too but man, the Harper Government as Steven would like to be branded is about as scary as a government can get! That is just my opinion and the opinion of the majority of Canadians.
