I say Economy: You Say Rabbit Season

The latest Nanos Economic Monitor indicated that Canadians still have a positive perspective when it comes to economic strength, but this has slightly softened since the last quarter. Canadians were somewhat less likely to believe that the economy will strengthen (down five percentage points in 90 days). -Nik Nanos Research
The Economy, Jobs, Rising Costs of Energy

The Ignatieff Liberals are avoiding subjects of Jobs, the Economy and Energy. They are busy with the culture war, trying to demonize the Conservatives who don't support a big tax and spend Liberal government led by Ignatieff.

Cultural Class War Continues: Policy Debate?

Ignatieff’s plan won’t make a single Canadian safer. It will make the dysfunctional, obsolete registry more expensive while simultaneously making it weaker. The registry has already failed and permanently alienated large swaths of voters from the Liberal party. Why is Ignatieff the last person to realize this? -Mat Gurney

The Liberals Are Locked Into The Graves Strategy:
Will Iggy continue to use Graves strategy, to divide Canada? I think yes. So far we have:
1. Abortion for developing countries paid by us.
2. Support of the gun registry.
3. French for judges.
4. Promoting "scandals".
5. Demonize our troops.
What are the Liberals talking about? Ignatieff is casting himself as Daffy Duck in Rabbit Fire.
Do you share the priorities of the Liberal Party?

A more in-depth analysis presents even more disturbing news for the Liberal leader and demonstrates that he has been unable to cultivate a loyal constituency among any of the demographic and socio-economic groups we look at. In fact, his net favourable rating is worse than Harper's for every group analyzed, save Quebecers and voters with post graduate degrees and even among these two constituencies he is in negative territory.  

A narrow majority of Liberal voters do hold a favourable impression of Mr. Ignatieff but once again, compared to the number of Conservatives (88%) who hold a favourable impression of his opponent, it is apparent that Mr. Ignatieff does not have the ability to galvanize the Liberal support base the way Mr. Harper does his."

Mr. Ignatieff is seen favourably by just 29% and unfavourably by 54%.

Our Prime Minister is following in the footsteps of the "Chief", building on a united Canada that pays respect to the vision of the North.

“Canada’s regional and remote airports play a vital role in bringing us together as a nation and linking our communities to the world,” said Prime Minister Harper.  “Our Government is pleased to support upgrades to the Churchill Airport which will help ensure the safe flow of people, goods and services to and from this Northern community, creating jobs and economic growth.”-Churchill Airport Improvements 

  “Through our Northern Strategy our Government is committed to realizing the full potential of Canada’s North” said Prime Minister Harper.  “By building this leading-edge research station, we are advancing Canada’s knowledge of the Arctic’s resources and climate while at the same time ensuring that Northern communities are prosperous, vibrant and secure.”- PM announces High Arctic Research Station coming to Cambridge Bay

Working together in cooperation with the Yukon government, we are funding for low-income families, seniors and people with disabilities the construction and renovation of 323 affordable housing units across Yukon.

You decide what kind of Canada you want, tell your family and friends, the choice is clear.
