Why does the Conservative party want to take my hard earne money so that they can give $1200 to some couple just because they have a kid?

The Globe's phone bank could also call Conservative party members to find one or two out of 100,000 who are willing to say that they are voting for the Liberals.

That'd be a front page story for them.

In response to "The Truth Hurts", why do the Liberals and NDP want to take away my hard earned money to establish a beaureacratic nightmare known as national daycare?

I'm not necessarily in favour of the $1200 payment either, but it gives people a choice.

Where I live, there is no daycare for 55km. Such a system would be irrelevant.

(That being said, the only policy that really makes sense is lowering personal income tax, so that people have more money to make their own decisions, whether they have children or not.)

Sheila Copps just wrote one of the most powerful exposures of how duplicitous Lyin' PM is. http://torontosun.canoe.ca/News/...358673- sun.html

I cannot believe how Right-on your obervations are! A G&M reporter, Clark Campbell, just called our campaign (we are in E.Ont.with a Conserv. incumbant) looking for a quote from the MP on same-sex marriage. The G&M must read your blog for story ideas! The smear campaign has begun.

I don't think the Conservatives are likely to go up much as too many people see Harper as a George W. Bush clone even though his policies having been moving away from Republican style conservatism. If the Conservatives want to win, they need the NDP to do really well since that will come at the expense of the Liberals. However, most NDP voters are terrified of a Conservative victory and will vote Liberal to block it. Harper will never appeal to NDP voters, but at least he has to convince them that a Tory win won't mean the end of Canada as we know it, so that way they will stick with the NDP rather than vote strategically.
