They read the Star and believed Dion would win, they fear a carbon tax.

In all seriousness, the market is international Scott. You should know that. Dion’s economic template, Sweden, is suffering the same downturn.

Well, sense we’re being all serious, can the conservatives now admit now that Dion wasn’t “panicking” last week when he suggested the government needed to be developing a response to the crumbling financial situation?

Harper certainly seems to be the one scrambling now.

But then he should after famously suggesting a month or so ago that economically he thought if things were going to get worse they “would have already” and that nothing other than a steady hand on the tiller was needed.

Who is fear-mongering on the economy now? Harper out on the trail screeching about inflation and deficits if he isn’t in power. Pretty rich for a PM whose been spending like a drunken sailor since he took the helm.

And commercials showing plummeting markets with some fearful family watching, saying any other leader is too great a risk.

Jeez.

The Swedish stock exchange
Sept 8 over 23
Today…over 15
Tomorrow, even lower, they, like Toronto always follow New York. You should know that Scott.

The real news is Dion wants to go full steam ahead with the Green Shift.
No matter the economy.

You knock Harper for telling people to invest, well isn’t that the point of the stock market, to invest? If it weren’t for brave investors in the U.S. that keep investing in these bad times the market and economy would have crashed a long time ago, I guess you would have made a horrible stock broker.

Just like Bob raye…he is going to tax and spend us out of recession…that worked fine before.

Dont ask scott to think like an economist..he is a liberal…they just raise taxes, spend tax dollars and let there buddies steal the money from taxpayers. I get a real laugh out of the fact that everyone is attacking harper for his stance on the economy yet the markets and economies all over the world are dropping fast..yet liberals seem to think that dion is going to shield little ole canada from this? and how?? by raising taxes!!
