We Can Do Better

September 26, 2009 @ 18:12

Just when there seems to be no hope for this country politically, a ray a sunshine washes across the land.

It seems that Michael Ignatieff's latest stab at power has knocked him on his ass.

A new Angus Reid Strategies/Toronto Star poll has found that Canadians much prefer the sitting Prime Minister to the power hungry Liberal who loves himself more than any other person on earth.

Ignatieff's feeble attempt at winning over the Canadian public with misguided television ads that claim "we can do better" have left Canadians thinking just that, Ignatieff and the Liberals CAN do better, in fact a hell of a lot better than they've been doing.

By the way, who was the wizard who came up with that slogan? "We can do better" When the brains that be sat in a Liberal strategy room and came up with it, didn't anybody think it might be taken the wrong way?

Wow. And they want to run the country?

Meanwhile, it seems that Canadians are coming around to reality, the reality that Prime Minister Harper has done a pretty good job steering this country through a global recession and when compared to the "Power Prick" he's head and shoulders the best man.

The Angus Reid Strategies/Toronto Star poll found that Canadians see Harper as better suited than Ignatieff to tackle the economy (33 per cent to 23 per cent), health care (23 to 16) and crime (38 to 12).

The poll also found that 27 per cent of Canadians favoured Harper as prime minister, compared to 16 per cent for Ignatieff and 12 per cent for NDP Leader Jack Layton.

All of these are indicators that Harper could be moving into majority territory if an election was held in the near future.

Finally, some sanity in the country.

I'd rather Harper than Ignatieff. I don't think Iggy will stick around if he loses an election.

What's his reason for coming back to Canada after countless years in the US, anyhow? I hope he's not arrogant enough to think of himself as the country's saviour or something.

Harper better on healthcare? This is sanity?

The only thing that we should be grateful for is that Harper didn't become Prime Minister sooner. We'd be in a lot worse shape economically then we are right now.

Here's some economics for you: 34 million taxpayer dollars spent by the Conservatives to toot their own horn. Anyone that doesn't question that just a bit is brainwashed.

The Liberals are trying the Barack Obama approach ( you know the themes, "Change", "Hope", and "Yes We Can"). The only Difference is that Barack Obama has Charisma and great public speaking skills. Where Michael Ignatieff has the Charisma of a deep sea sponge and surly must failed the on line course of the William Shatner school of public speaking and acting.

If the Conservatives had a classy leader they may be heading towards a majority. But not with Mr Wishy washy

27% support is nothing to brag about.

Harper would be in serious trouble if the Liberals had a good leader. But Dion and Ignatief are not those leaders.

Also just out, EI claims have dropped in July.

If the majority of Canadians wouldn't have confidence in the present government, why would the housing market be booming in the GTA and in other provinces? I guess just another fluke and nothing to do with the leadership of the current government.

Why isnt' Harper ever getting just an ounce of credit and/or praise.
