"O-Canada"

The great middle class of Canada and the United States haven't lost their common sense, or their sense of right and wrong.

Canada's Election  may foretell  US  2012, results!

Friends………Our Canadian brothers and sisters have just gone through a National Election cycle. The “Conservative” party (Prime Minister) has been for a year under attack by the liberal  party, just as it is happening to us. Their Liberal Press has supported the Liberal cause even calling for the “removal” of the Prime Minister, and touting the fact that the LIBERAL party would win large in the elections.

The great middle class of Canada and the United States haven’t lost their common sense, or their sense of right and wrong. Cheer when the Liberals do things like include a real estate conveyance tax of 3.5% payable by any of us who sell any real estate from 2013 forward. 

Listen to the head of the EPA admit that they do not take into account any economic impact, or job gain or loss when they post new regulations! Each new pronouncement by our President “I will consider lifting the ban on drilling for oil”, becomes something other than what he said when put in practice will bring more people to the Conservative movement.
