Canada

but he definitely swallowed the Cons crap about deficits. Deficits, done properly are a necessary part of fiscal policy of a federal government during a downturn/recession. They are not the devil. Good gawd, I really wish people without economic or business training would stop commenting on this. It's annoying. Comparing it to student loans?

And shame on Stephen Harper for going on about this too. As an economist, he knows deficits are useful during downturns but acts like they are theworsthingeveromg. Nothing new here - Stephen Harper is a fucking liar. He says one thing but knows another.

M'kay. Moving on.

I *DO* agree that Trudeau's stance on bill C-51, the TPP are an indicator of his mentality. And I am beyond disgusted with him being unwilling to work with the NDP. This could've been a cakewalk if he would've put his ego aside, worked hand-in-hand with Mulcair and we could've had 2 successive left-leaning prime ministers for many years to come. It was a selfish move on Trudeau's part, although I cannot say I'm surprised after reading his book - I started skimming the parts where he talks about how great he is. It's nauseating.

That said, Trudeau has run a good campaign and I agree with what he has SAID about economics, but I have no faith that he will follow through. Which is why I've already cast my vote for the NDP. And yes I had to wait for about 1/2 hour. 2 ballot boxes for the federal election for advanced voting (and everyone lined up at the same one?). There were 5 for the provincial advanced polls. Shame on you Elections Canada!

K. I'm done.
