Live Small: All this talk about the economy. What’s happening?

Like a worn wooden soldier on a five-pin alley I felt nothing but the rush of air as Stephen Harper bowled a tired philisophical statement passed my red stripe.

He said the following about the economy:

His party will “stay the course of lower taxes and prudent economic management... Canada is on the right track.”


[“nothing but the rush of air”: Link to photo in context]

Nope, I thought. You missed more than me.

Canada’s economy, based on a Market-First economic philosophy (we don’t have an economic plan), is in a state of correction, not as drastic as the US’s, but it ain’t over until the fat lady sings.

We’re not on the right track when so many products are wasteful, larger than necessary, petroleum based and produced unsustainably.

With per capita debt at an all-time high our economy is heavily based on an all-out lie.

Harper added, “My own belief is if we were going to have some kind of crash or recession, we probably would have had it by now a year into the (financial) crisis.”

How confident are you in his Market-First philosophy?

Me?

A hard rain’s a-gonna fall before Harper pitches Sustainability-First.
