As far as I can see, both have been cut. There is no "instead". And yes, we're being pandered to. And how!
Ok,... investing in American automakers is hardly investing in technology. The liberals want to raise a "carbon tax". They don't have a plan for the other kinds of investments you mentioned AFAIK. They are the greater of the two evils. Although it'd be nice if Harper invested in the things you mentioned. That's what lobbying is for!

What I haven't seen enough in this thread is that, sure, Harper never had the majority of the vote but that Dion was flat out rejected at the polls. Seems to me like the support you see here for a coalition are the few that actually voted for Dion and the rest of the coalition representation are keeping their mouths shut. And just like the debate went earlier this year, you see these same people attacking Harper instead of stating how the coalition, mainly the Libs, are going make this country better.
Cretien was the last Liberal leader I liked, until he got lazy. That got him back stabbed by his own party. Liberals seem more and more unsavory.
Didn't the last coalition not last a week?
He doesn't sound like ignorant. Why don't you try to follow his example? i.e. go read a book on Canadian politics and if you find it too boring stay out of this thread.

Actually, NO.
People not voting means that they are not interested in federal politics anymore because of retarded bullshit like what may happen.
But anyways, these last few pages totally prove my point.
Canada is all about equality; every province hates every other province equally.
Travel around the world a little bit and you'll see how ridiculous and childish this internal bickering is.
Oh and one last thing, when I'm overseas and tell people that I'm Canadian; all they know about our country is that its big and freaking cold. Nobody knows, or cares, about our internal politics. They don't equate our country to Alberta's oil or Quebec's former separatist ambitions (notice FORMER here...):
the only thing that comes to their mind is SNOW.
I love my country and couldn't think of living anywhere else, but man is this continuous internal in-fighting retarded...

Get the fuck over yourself will you?
Alberta is Nigger rich and you are a perfect example of acting the part. It has been pointed out many times already in this thread that Up until a few years ago Alberta was a drain on our economy since confederation. You have found a way to step up and do your part for a while, (while raping the environment in the process) congrats.
seriously where do you assholes get the idea that i want to help any of the big 3 automakers?
fyi i think a tax on pollution is a great idea
Yes, the three parties hate each other any give day but how is that different than any other minority government? Every party hates every other party. How would you expect a minority government to function properly without the Prime Minister making some concessions to the other parties to get them to support some of the bills they are trying to pass? Trusting the country with a party that will openly thumb their nose to every other party that combined represents the MAJORITY of the Canadian population? So they're allowed to impose the will of the minority of the population onto the majority of them? That doesn't sound like democracy working too well.
143 is a fraction of the total seats. I am not just saying LIBERAL. I am saying ALL of them. I know the Liberals lost seats but every other major party gained seats since the dissolution of Parliament. Why should a party that represents a THIRD of Canadians be able to run the country and pretty much ignore the representatives of the other two thirds of the country? Does that really make sense to you? Harper isn't extending an olive branch trying to make peace with them so that they support his budget. As I already said, he had this planned out to try to make the other parties look like shit if they're going to vote against the budget and trigger a new election. He will blame them and do a smear campaign in hopes of voters being sheep and believing what he's saying. Meanwhile, the other parties are trying to prevent that from happening by forming a coalition government so they won't have to go back to the polls and anger the public.
I for one, welcome our new New Democratic Green Liberal Bloc Party of Canada overlords.
Half the Canadian fucks out there fail to realize one very important thing: the votes from the last federal election were for individual parties, NOT for a fucking coalition.
You can't just tally up the NDP/Bloc/Lib votes together... that was not the intention of the voters. They voted for individual parties. If I had voted for NDP or Liberals, and then my vote was taken to count in favour of a coalition government, I'd be fucking pissed.
This can't fly. If the coalition works out and is put into power without a vote, it'll be a disgrace.

you don't seem to understand how a parlimentary system works.
