It was all the NEP's fault.<br /><br />I do agree the NEP was a way to drill directly into Albertan's wallets, but putting it as solely to blame for Alberta's hardships is incredibly naive. Please explain to me how the per capita GDP losses for Texas were not all that far off from Alberta's - with no NEP to blame.<br /><br />Also that 100 billion is a top-end estimation that places almost no blame on the 1980's oil glut.

Harper may have somewhat set a narrative and painted Iggy as an outsider who doesn’t know enough about Canada. Likewise Harper has now just been successfully painted as an old-school pork-barrel politician & hypocrite. Each new spending-scandal from here on in will simply reinforce this.<br /><br />The Grits are not going to get a knock-out by this, and I don’t think they ever expected one. They can’t force an election and expect to win, but they sure made it difficult for Harper to win a majority now, and most likely for good.<br /><br />Should the Grits keep crying “pork” 24-7 to gain in the polls? No, of course that would be counter-productive. I actually agree with you that Iggy needs to start rolling out what the Libs actual policies are. But any new mini-spending scandal found from this point on will sink Harper little by little.Tof KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756310841374198056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-7770787182583644042009-10-22T15:01:46.239-04:002009-10-22T15:01:46.239-04:00Ouch, thats a kick right in the federal Liberal ju...Ouch, thats a kick right in the federal Liberal junk.austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837199356153099022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-4279218506366043842009-10-22T14:50:19.394-04:002009-10-22T14:50:19.394-04:00It must suck to be a federal Liberal when George S...It must suck to be a federal Liberal when George Smitherman refutes the rumours that primarily, it's Conservative ridings that get infrastructure payments:<br /><br />A Toronto MP claims that the federal government favours Conservative ridings, but Ontario's deputy premier disagrees. <br /><br />Gerard Kennedy charges that recreational facilities in Liberal and NDP sections of the province don’t get adequate funding. <br /><br />Toronto has 23 ridings, 21 of which are held by Liberals and 2 of which belong to the NDP. <br /><br />The Liberal representative says those ridings get about 38 per cent less cash than Conservative parts of Ontario. <br /><br />“The [federal Liberals] draw conclusions based on the analysis that they’ve done,” deputy premier George Smitherman countered Thursday outside Queen’s Park.<br /><br />But, he continued, they only looked at the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (Rinc) program. While that would indicate that Conservative ridings received more cash than Liberal holdings, it doesn’t tell the whole story. <br /><br />The Rinc program was open to not-for-profits and municipalities, he explained. <br /><br />“So the fact that there are 450 municipalities, many of them small, meant that there were more requests in the mix for smaller communities.<br /><br />“I think that’s why you see it’s a little more distributed towards rural Ontario and by coincidence, that happens to be where Conservatives represent the ridings."<br /><br />Toronto scored big when other initiatives were considered, Smitherman argued. <br /><br />"The knowledge infrastructure program, which is for post-secondary education, you’ll see that Toronto actually comes out with a higher degree of investment than its proportion of population...I’m pretty confident that there’s going to be a very equitable regional distribution once we’ve completed the allocation of all those dollars.”<br /><br />Prime Minister Stephen Harper also dismissed Kennedy's allegations. He said that it was the Liberal Ontario government that chose which projects would receive funding.<br /><br />The Globe and Mail looked at more than 750 projects funding by Recreational Infrastructure Canada. According to their research, Tory ridings received an average of $2.1-million, compared to $1.5-million on average for opposition constituencies <br /><br />http://www.citytv.com/toronto/<br />citynews/news/national/article/<br />61240--toronto-mp-claims-harper-<br />government-favours-tory-ridings-<br />smitherman-disagreesBerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790958603845618922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-65051548073462272272009-10-22T14:48:58.479-04:002009-10-22T14:48:58.479-04:00Paul S,
