A very uplifting read. Read it!
Far better than the Liberals' pathetic "Team Canada" junkets to, for example, the totalitarian communist regime of China which ended up in Canadian companies investing in China (not Canada), employing Chinese for slave wages (if that) to produce omnipresent, dirt-cheap products. Sure, Canadian companies have profited from Chinese labor, but what of Canadian manufacturing jobs lost or not created? Go shopping... buy something. Most often, it'll have been made in China, not Canada. There you have it: the Liberal legacy: redirecting investment and jobs outside of Canada in exchange for dirt-cheap but variable-quality goods. Liberals: the party of profit-motive big business. Not the party of Canada and Canadians.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been travelling abroad selling Canada's position in the world as an energy superpower/emerging energy superpower. He has urged international investors to look to Canada, with all its virtues, etc., for their energy investment dollars. He has pointed out that, unlike less-free and non-free nations, Canada's energy industry is and shall always be free-market-based, not politically-based, which is a massive advantage in terms of energy supply stability.
See, another excellent example of Stephen Harper doing his job... very well, mind y'all, as Prime Minister of Canada.
What was it again that the Liebrano$$$ said they did... "balance the books"? Ha! A monkey could've balanced the books in a time of global economic boom as we experienced during the Liberal years (no thanks to the tax-and-spend/red-tape, anti-productivity Liebrano$$$ with their infamous money-laundering schemes and whatnot...).
Just watch Harper. And watch Canada elevate ever higher over the world stage. Aren't you glad you voted Conservative?
