I think this will go down as the most annoying election in history. All of the parties will be fighting over what should have been done this time last year what they would have done differently whose fault was who's. Blah blah blah. The reality is that all of the parties would have run up a huge deficit, all of them would have had trouble getting stimulus cash out the door. The entire country was being carried along by the rapids of a global recession and there was nothing anybody could have done differently.

I hope hope hope that Ignatieff stears away from his bullshit arguments of "You Conservatives didn't get the stimulus cash out the door fast enough" and "You Conservatives aren't doing enough for EI reform."

We all know that pumping out $50 Billion in cash is a huge undertaking and ripe for abuse, if it takes a little longer to role out so that as little as possible of that money isn't stolen, so be it.

We also all know that the current EI system is a product of previous Liberal Govmnts and any changes made now would have very little effect. The time for EI changes was last year around this time.

I also hope hope hope that Harper doesn't crow too much about all the success of the New Canadian Governments Stimulus Package. Are we all so stupid as to forget that he wasn't even going to provide any stimulus package as of November of last year? He was forced to look past his Neo-con ideology by the opposition and see how repeating the mistakes of the 1930's would be disasterous.

I also hope that the NDP steps back the brink of irelevance... or maybe not... if the NDP goes away that usualy stengthens the Liberals which I personally am a fan of. Always with the new programs, the new spending.... damnit man, just get the programs we have now to work efficiently and properly first! And I know that poor have it rough and that they're really having an exceptionaly rough time right now... but we have existing programs in place to cushion the fall of losing your job we don't need more programs that just ends up rewarding the 3-4% of the population that is gaming the system so they don't have to do an honest's days work.
