A post from January 2006: Running against President Bush TV in Canada

A post from January 2006:

Last night, I saw a sample of the latest Liberal TV ad. It makes the case that Mr. Harper would be good for the US or specifically President Bush.

At the same time, the liberals argue that they have been good for the economy.

It is true that Canada enjoys a good economy. Why is that? Because the US economy is doing very well. Canada is totally dependent on the US economy. Most Canadians make a living selling to or making something for the US.

You cannot say that Bush has been bad for Canada. Instead, the Bush economy has been great for Canada: low unemployment, high productivity, lots of outsourcing to Canada, low inflation, etc.

The liberals won't be happy with the latest poll.

Captain's Quarters is a blog that has been following the Canada election. Their latest report shows a growing conservative lead:

"The Conservative Party will come within a few seats of winning a majority government, if current levels of voter support hold up...."

PM Martin is finished. It's a shame that he is leaving by playing the anti-US card.
