I thought this was a real commentary. I missed the heading Warren Kinsella.
Warren Kinsella isn't real?
then there's that Pinko Liberal Tony Clement that's quoted in the story:
$1:
The second reason we have avoided a Euro-style implosion was revealed — surprise, surprise — by no less than Treasury Board President Tony Clement a few days ago.
In a little-noticed speech before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Clement lauded the government of Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien for “rather remarkable” fiscal reforms in the ’90s which have protected our economy ever since.
Said Clement: “Successive Canadian governments, across political lines, faced the challenge square on, delivering fiscal reforms that started us on a path to balanced budgets.
“As a result, from 1997 to 2007, our country enjoyed a decade of strong economic performance, with Canada leading the G7 in economic growth.”
For all but one year of the decade Clement referred to, Canada was governed by Liberals, not Conservatives. Clement went on to credit Chretien’s “program review” exercise — which cut waste in every government department — as one of the reasons Canada got back on track economically
. Looks like the Libs deserve more kudos than the Reformacons. And my guess is that if they had had a majority at that time, they would have slashed and burned all the good work that the Liberals did, because "if we were going to have a recession we would have had it by now."
