    And the budget will balance itself.:bc:

    what is funny is his entire statement which you like to leave out is happening right before your eyes :lol: 

    "if you grow the economy and get people back to work, the budget will balance itself"  he goes on to explain how that happens - forward to today :lol:

    Honest - you're an idiot. :lol: 

    Harper and the Cons did a lot to try and handle the Global Recession in 2009. Massive stimulus spending, auto bailouts, central bank intervention etc etc. All that stimulus spending that helped bring us out of the recession and prevent it from being deeper. That was deficit spending - which you think is bad. You can't have it both ways. Pick one. 

    Again you are showing you are nothing but a hack calling it a "Harper" Recession. It was caused by a global collapse in the price of oil. Something completely out of control of the Cdn government. Oil plunged from over $100 a barrel into the $20s. 

    And has since almost doubled in price. 

    You can't blame Harper for the crash or give JT credit for the recovery. 

    Unless you're a hack of course. 

    first off I was saying Harpers 2015 recession try to keep up with real facts.......

     

    now I am going to quote you with a twist

     

    Harper  Wynne/Dalton and the Cons Liberals did a lot to try and handle the Global Recession in 2009. Massive stimulus spending, auto bailouts, central bank intervention etc etc. All that stimulus spending that helped bring us out of the recession and prevent it from being deeper. That was deficit spending - which you think is bad. You can't have it both ways. Pick one. 

     

    What do you think of your statement now?

     

    here is a lesson for your Financial brain

    Oil was 140$ a barrel in 2008

    price did drop like you said mid way through to 20$

    this is where you are clued out, Oil rose 400% to 80$ by 2009-10 which Harper enjoyed until 2015 where Trudeau takes at $28 a barrel

    Now its 40$ and we are doing very well according to world markets

     

    Oil was cheap for only 1,5 years dummy not 10 like you suggest

     

     

    For a smart guy you sure don't know your facts

    Sorry, most came from the energy sector rebound and housing, I already posted that.  Again what will you say when it does not continue?  

    it simply isn't possible to continue a certain percent of growth - you are the one that taunts Government Government not me...

    Oil prices are low something Lord Harper didn't have to deal with, well he did by killing our economy in the end

    but saying that

    Manufacturing is at record levels today

     

    we had 10 years of dead growth since last recession, now its time to grow again until the next time and there will be many next times

    Timing is perfect for Trudeau

    He put more money in everyone's hands and helped create a more pro-business environment by encouraging entrepreneurship.

     

    :lmao: 

    biggest tax break from the feds we just got last year = RECORD GROWTH?

     

    If you want to post a legislative action Harper did, I will read it

    2018 is expected to be 2.0% and 2019 is expected to be 1.6%, hardly a sustained pattern.  But them nobody is really expecting more than 2% over the long term.

    so a decline will be on Trudeau but the rise isn't

     

    I get it Thanks

    Try 11 and 12.  

    You don't think its a problem when the teacher can't teach without the teachers editions.  Oh, that goes for all subjects.:lol:

     

     

    Math is complex unlike other subjects, I think that was covered.

    Math books all have the answers in them because the answer isn't as important as the method to get that answer.

    The ART of teaching is being able to read something and relay that to your students......

    Blaming teachers for people not being able to give change is ridiculous.......

     

    One Problem is Parents can't help their kids in math once it gets past what a fraction is, this holds true for 99% of parent

     

     

    Tell me does you boy know how to give change?  if so how did he learn that since so many other can't seem to do it

    What policies is JT putting forth that will spur economic growth and business investment?

    Never mind Donald.

    posted some earlier and you ignored it.

    What did Harper do to earn 'worst economic record in 100 years' 

     

    bad timing I say

    Greece is a country. Ontario is a province. You're comparing federal debt to provincial debt. 

     

    This term was used against Ontario while Harper was PM.  I didn't make this up or use the term but it was posted by you several times.

    So tell me why you compared a country to a province? 

     

    I still like to know how Harper did so well all while you claiming near half the population was doing badly meaning Ontario -

    simply not possible

    Government plays a big part in creating jobs by creating a business friendly environment that encourages growth and rewards success. Successful growing businesses hire more people. Creating an environment that penalizes business and creates systems that are tough for business to develop and grow in is a job killer.

    so RECORD GROWTH TODAY not seen in a very long time is due to what? 

     

    I know its not JT - go figure

    Please point to the specific legislation passed by the Liberals that have aided this growth? :snack: 

    being elected in the midst of a strong economic recovery at home and with our largest trading partner doesn't allow you to claim credit for it. 

     

    I asked you to point out what Harper did, and you can't post that....

    Trudeau was elected during a Harper recession worst economy in the G7, wtf are you talking about?

     

     

    And if you read my post you will see "timing is everything"  and that is my answer

    If it were true that people can't enter the housing market the demand that we see wouldn't exist. You still don't understand a free market or supply and demand.

    where did I ever say there wasn't a ton of people with money? 

    its the percent of people priced out of the market that is rising you dummy

    That is not really the issue.  Dolts have overextended themselves and can't carry a mortgage rate increase and when their mortgage becomes larger than what they owe.

    over 50% of people live pay cheque to pay cheque

    average personal debt is over 20k per person (not including mortgages or car loans)

    ya I agree the generation of lining up for the new cell phone release is going to be in trouble -  government can't be blamed

    It's an issue in Elementary as well when they drill down into details.

    the level of math isn't high until maybe grade 7 or 8

    some kids will never understand it no matter who teaches it.

     

    the fact you don't need to take grade 12 math says alot

    Yep, so can golf courses.  That's why the entire ban is a crock of shit. 

    That is there business, weeds would kill a course

    same reason a sod company can use weed killers

    Weed killer was banned from public parks over 30 years ago

    You obviously haven't seen how today's kids are taught how to solve this simple question: 365 x 789 =

    The method now is a complete clusterfuck compared to how it used to be taught. 

    the answer is always the same and always will be, how you get there isn't relevant

    The main problem is they don't have math teachers teaching these kids.  Fucking useless artsies with French backgrounds.

    In high school this can be an issue specially in rural areas, but its not a concern in Elementary level.

    It isn't the reason kids can't give change out

    How about the abysmal performance of students in math.

    http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/ontario-to-review-school-curriculum-as-student-math-scores-decline-1.3577216

    The tests showed that only half of Grade 6 students met the provincial standard in math, unchanged from last year, and 62 per cent of Grade 3 students met the standard, a one percentage point decrease from the previous year.

    Maybe they should focus less on teaching kids about homosexual lifestyles and methods and focus more on the 3 R's.

    I heard an interview yesterday comparing what it takes to become a teacher in Quebec compared to Ontario. It's a lot tougher and the education more focussed on teaching skills to become a teacher in Quebec than in Ontario it seems and apparently the students there do a lot better than in Ontario.

    They were discussing how the math curriculum in Ontario doesn't focus on learning 2 X 2 = 4 (times tables) but more on WHY 2 X 2 = 4. I'm not sure what that means really but I do know you can confuse the heck out of most younger cashiers in a store these days. Your bill comes to $18.37. You hand the cashier a $20 bill and they enter the amount in the register. It tells them the change should be  $1.63. Now give them another two quarters ($0.50) and watch most of them scratch their head. They can't figure out that the change should now be $2.13 so you end up with less coin.

    Math has always been the hardest subject, most people just don't understand much about it.......

    3R's

    writing is almost useless today as computers take over

    reading is done more today then anytime in history as people are glued to there phones reading messages

    Math - will never change

     

    the 1950's are gone, where schools didn't need to expand the education and just taught the same shit year after year.  Todays world is far more complex then the simple times of your youth.   Back in your day  beating on a gay kid was considered okay - making fun of a retarded child was okay - calling someone a Nigger was okay

     

    Times have changed 02sled, you should open the basement door go up the stairs and go outside.  There is a whole new world for you to look at

    Whilst I. Glad we agree he was good for a bit.  I think he should not have run again. The lame attack adds on Justin and some shady shit at the end sunk him.  Should have stepped away after his last term. 

    Harper proved he was in it for himself and fucked over the entire party

    Unlike you oneways - I never posted anything negative about Harper until the last 2 years and up coming election.

    Trudeau gets elected and revrnd goes and others go nuts with Trudeau posts from day one.

     

    Harpers attack on Muslims did him in, and left the door open for Trudeau to go overboard the other way. 

    Newton's law at its best

    What % of those jobs were created by small business that he is attacking?

    you tell us?

    I have always said its business that creates the jobs not the government, where you flip flop depending on the Party. 

    Harper made gains in jobs do to his government but in Ontario jobs were created by business.

    Now jobs are again created  by business and not Trudeau

     

    we all see the trend here

    Side of the mouth didn't have a recession  to deal with and had an economy recovering with an added bonus of GST and free-trade.  Two things he was against.

    Mulroney doubled our debt, considering Trudeau increased it 10 fold and Harper's went up 25%, again after another recession.  Don't look at static numbers.

    JT will eclipse Harper's debt numbers, inflation will rise and we will have another recession.  Our housing is already starting to take a turn, so are we blaming JT for it?  Harper at least created real estate wealth for the middle class.

    wow

    so you are saying Harper single handed created a housing market most people can't ever enter?  is this what you are boosting about?

     

    :lmao: don't look at static numbers :lmao:  so Trudeau can borrow more than Harper did and still have a lower percent increase :lol:  I can just hear you cheering those numbers in the future :lol:

    You can thank Harper for a better relationship with Quebec as well.  Bloc party support dropped quite a bit under Harper.  

    not sure what he did or didn't do, but ya it has dropped and will again rise in the future.

    Harper was good up to the last 2 years of office
