So you are in the Salvation Army? Cool uniform brother, but paramilitary is a stretch.

Then US banking crisis

Then a majority government in 2011. Debt was $551 billion.

Today's net debt about $616 billion.

So where is your math for $180 billion debt? Remember in 2006-2011 it was a minority government that required opposition support to pass the budget. So technically the PC's have been governing through some of the worst economic problems in history.



Here is a goodie for you to think about.

Ontario under the Liberal leadership has a $284 billion debt all by itself as of April 2015. Now it is even worse. Worse than California now.

Does a set of Brit wings qualify one as "Para" military?

You find stuff like this on facebook and your taking it seriously....good heavens.
Much of the problem with the misinformation about most everything is people getting their information from some crap somebody posts on Facebook.

Facebook...... Sorry it's just hard to believe people take seriously what other people post on there as if it were legitimate. Goes to show how dumbed down gullible society has become...

I honestly couldn't care less about most of those points, the majority of them seem relative to political proceedure and whatnot. I'm also voting for my local CPC member, not Harper. My reasons, one party eliminated the gun registry, the other two will likely reinstate some form of it, one lowers/maintains small business tax, the other two will likely raise it, two will give families cash one has a ridiculous daycare program, one seems to support traditional Canadian values while the other two seem to compromise them willynilly, etc. That is why I'm voting for my local CPC member tomorrow.

Elizabeth drinks to much in public ......so the lesser of all evils ..
Mr.Harper .....I'll try to trudge through another 4 years of Canadian
hardship , hope those cheques keep coming every month. I'm not sure
We have ever had a perfect prime minister ,wait ,Brian Mulroney ....close
A perfect ass . I'm sure one cold winters night in a stable in Saskatchewan
Will be born a child ,of lowly beginnings , who will be our countries greatest
Leader .....no Tommy Douglas has already been here ....never mind Canada

Was this posted already...?

The timing here pretty much makes it the nail in Harpers coffin for this election.


Govt needs to be changed like underwear

Regularly.

As to the OP, there's a lot of blather, bluster and whatnot against every party on social media. I know who I'm voting for come tomorrow. Nothing on social media will change that, and its unlikely that you will change others' minds.
