Of course this would not completely offset the housing induced credit crunch in the US.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Harper will blame others for the failing economy to which he is the blame. And he will get away with it unless others stand up. Canada has the lowest oil extraction royalties in the world. And Canada is US's largest supplier of oil.<BR/><BR/>The problem is it will take a little longer before the extent of Harper's damage is undeniable. Bush won a second term simply because he was able to deny the extent of his mismanagement. I guess that is why the Conservative government is controlling the media's access so carefully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-48697413236954285102007-10-18T12:46:00.000-04:002007-10-18T12:46:00.000-04:00Frankly, if Stephane "green scarves" Dion can't ru...Frankly, if Stephane "green scarves" Dion can't run an election on Kyoto, he's in sad sad shape.That guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254412890551965391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-57110336122113190622007-10-18T12:04:00.000-04:002007-10-18T12:04:00.000-04:00Harper is a bully - not a gambler.

Fact, harper could got the GG now and ask for an election based on the need for a new mandate. So, he will make up a reason sometime on his own terms. The opposition controls the parl committees and it is there the PM gets regularly embarrassed ... so he now is between an election he does not have the numbers for and a parl ready to embarrass him (to say nothing of the fraud case with elections canada). Further the ecomony is seriously in trouble with both housing and manufacturing set to fail... accordingly, harper is looking for an out and trying to make up an excuse and blame others... the bully is at work - not the gamblerWalks With Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019579871194377605noreply@blogger.com
