Budget should help most vulnerable, says Ignatieff

Article

And who are these "most vulnerable" ? It doesn't say. He just drops the phrase in and walks away from it , like it was a dead fish or something.


Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff says the Conservative budget expected at the end of next month should include help for "the most vulnerable," as well as tax breaks for entrepreneurs, to pull the country out of a recession.


But he's really quite enthusiastic about the whole GIVE BIG BUSINESS MONEY thing. He just bowls us over with it.


He also called for more investment in infrastructure, as well as new funds for affordable housing and job training. The government will unveil the federal budget near the end of January, and Conservatives have met with opposition officials to discuss the fiscal document.


And who's going to be building those roads and sewers ? Some big business.
And who's going to be building those affordable housing ? Some big business.
And who's going to be providing that job training ? Some big business.


When questioned on whether he would opt to vote down the Harper government after the budget is tabled, Ignatieff reaffirmed his earlier commitment to wait until he knows the contents of the document before making a decision


You just admitted you met with the Conservatives to discuss the document. Now you're saying you don't know whats in it. Make up your mind.


He would only say that a Liberal-NDP coalition, supported by the Bloc Quebecois, is a viable alternative for Canadians, "if the Harper government continues its record of failure on economic leadership."


Loosely translated "If they continue to do things their way and not ours". Economic Leadership my left (ahem) ! What the heck does that mean? A made up phrase to make you think the Conservatives are doing something naughty. They got an Economist for Prime Minister , for petes sake, what more do you want ?

Oh , you want to be in power. The fact that he's an economist and you're a historian doesn't matter. You think a historian can do a better job, I see that now.

So , who do you want to lead the country during this time of economic crisis ? An Economist (Conservatives) , a Historian (Liberals) , or a career politician ..er...holder of a degree in political science (the now absent Stephen Dion aka "The Carbon Tax Man"). Or perhaps the Bloc who would like to break the country apart ?

Drop me a line and let me know.

Hmm... pro human rights but not too far in the human rights camp he has his disagreements with them , in favor of the war in Iraq / Afghanistan but thinks the Americans got it wrong (too much corruption not enough fighting) , it's a pity he's a liberal because I think I agree with the rest of whats listed in his bio.
