Conservative Leader Cannot Be Trusted

TheStar.com | Federal Election | Newfoundland premier says: 'Anyone but Harper'
He said Harper wanted an election before he would lose four by-elections that were in progress, before the economy "declines any further due to his fiscal mismanagement, and before findings released on various ethical breaches against his government."

"If Stephen Harper gets a majority government I remind you of words of Bachman Turner Overdrive: You ain't seen nothin' yet."

Williams said Harper has kept "his agenda carefully hidden," and urged people to read Harper's writings over the past 10 years.

"The only reason we haven't seen his full plan for Canada implemented is because he's had a minority government to keep it in check. A majority government for Stephen Harper would be one of the most negative political events in Canadian history."

Remember what Mike Harris did when he got in? A lot of people seemed surprised by his hidden right wing agenda that threw a lot of people out of jobs and really screwed up Ontario. The exact same thing is happening here with the federal Conservative government. Don't vote them back in or Canada will go right down the drain.

Dragon Naturally Speaking version 10

Dragon is Newton's antithesis - The INQUIRER

The pain with products like Dragon is that it normally takes ages to train
the system to recognise your voice. Simon Howard proved that this is no longer
the case with Naturallyspeaking v 10 by setting up a completely new profile and
taking not much longer than a couple of minutes to 'train' the product.

Thank You For Killing Canadians, Mr Harper

Just Another Willy Loman: Deregulated finger pointing at Maple Leaf

Of course prior to the changes that Harper’s government made to food
inspection, we would actually know if the cleaning was actually done
everyday.

Now under Harper’s deregulation the CFIA food
inspectors just read reports and review processes and don’t actually
get to verify, as in testing for listeria on the cutting blades right
on the floor.
