Harper Right: Cdn Economy Faring Better Than Others

Story here.

ht: National Newswatch


The truth is inconvenient to the Liberals of Michael "Iggy" Ignatieff, who hammily blustered about the Prime Minister:

"He's on a Conservtive planet in outer space," said Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, adding, "Canadians want their Prime Minister to tell them the truth, and I think he's being economical with the truth." In other words, he's lying.
But...

Just what did Harper say to cause such a flap?

This: "The American economy has been hit twice as hard as Canada. The same is true for Europe. The Japanese have been hit four times as hard."

Well, it's a fact. In the fourth quarter of last year the Canadian economy shrank by 3.4%, while the U. S. economy contracted by 6.2%, European output fell by 5.9% and Japan's fell by 12.7%. Relative to all other G7 countries, Canada has been spared the worst of what Harper and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty have called "a synchronized global recession."

Oh, my... what inconvenient truth for poor, poor little clueless, ain't-done-his-homework, Iggypoo...
