What recession?
With 107,000 jobs created in September, an all-time record for Canada, and the federal finances in surplus at last reporting, is it any surprise that the recent phobic-panic over the banks and stock markets causing a drop in Tory support is turning out to be a temporary blip and no real cause for wishful-thinking Liberal euphoria? Of course the voters will overcome their initial fear response, realizing that the Leftist Opposition, the mainstream media and others on the Far Left had managed to scare the crap out of them... wrongly.
(Emphasis mine...)
And in a new poll released today, the Tories are said to be back in majority territory, at least in terms of seat projection, and have recovered to 36% nationally, with the Liberals falling back again to a pathetic 24%.The Canadian economy surpassed employment forecasts and smashed a previous monthly job creation record by generating 107,000 new jobs in September, Statistics Canada reported Friday.
However, 97,000 of the new jobs are part-time.
Conservative Leader Stephen Harper said the massive number - which dwarfed projections of about 13,000 new jobs - is proof that his government's economic policies are sound and that the economy is on the right track.
"When I say that notwithstanding the challenges our fundamentals are strong, let me repeat we've had GDP (gross domestic product) numbers up dramatically, we've had employment numbers up dramatically," Harper told supporters at a campaign stop in Brantford, Ont.
See, the Harper Conservatives have indeed done a good job at preparing Canada for the expected economic challenges. But didn't we already know that? If you hadn't, then you weren't paying attention to what's going on in your country, were you? Tsk, tsk...
Ok, fat-headed far-left blogger/serial anti-conservative commentor "Balbulican", you were saying...? Hmmmm?
