Dion doesn't understand the history on this one.

it was the Clinton administration that made it possible for the realestate market to go astray.

And, when the Bush administration tried to curb this a few years ago. the Democratic Senate shot it down. Moreover, Obama was one of the senators that obstructed the efforts

In Dion's stupidity, he is actually decrying Liberalism.

"I see the tough times coming in the United States, the mistakes they have done, terrible mistakes with its right-wing ideology of laissez-faire I-don't-care," said Dion, whose plan to impose a new carbon tax has fallen flat in Canada.

If he is referring to the bailout of the housing market and the imminent problems that will confront Canada soon, the seeds of the problems occurred under the Liberal's watch, not the Tories.

Having said that, the seeds were planted primarily by the Federal Reserve and have little to do with the Liberals or Canada for that matter. But the problems first and foremost began under the US central bank - an entity that falls entirely under the purview of the government - but exacerbated and pushed over the edge by lax regulation, greed and very bad decisions in the market.
