Nope. The Liberals inherited a wrecked Third World country from Mulroney with weak dollar, huge debt, skyrocketting deficit and record high unemployment. Within 4 years, we had a balanced budget, a well kept economy, a stronger dollar and lots of jobs and it's been like that ever since. The 2000 American recession had no effect on Canada, thanks to the great leadership of our government. The past 12 years have been Canada's golden age. Our economy has never been as good as under the Liberals. Yes.... it's called "good work ethics". The only issue against the Libs was the sponsorship scandal which was blown way out of proportion, exaggerated, over emphasized, because after 12 glorious years <b>THAT WAS THE ONLY THING HARPER'S RIGHT WING NUTBAGS COULD BRING UP AGAINST THEM.</b> Talking about negative campaigning, the entire tory campaign in 2004 and this year as well has been nothing else but negative.<br />
<br />
Regarding Mike Harris.... he had to leave in the middle of his second term for "personal reasons". The truth is, by that time Ontarians understood how destructive and bird brained his policies really were and he had no chance of winning again. Being the coward he is, he chose to run instead. Ontario's infrastructure pretty much collapsed under Harris. The Liberals inherited a $9 billion deficit from them and after the election yet another corporate tax cut was scheduled (cancelled by the Liberals). Harris fired all the water inspectors in Ontario and "outsourced" water inspection to his favourite private companies. The result was the Walkerton tainted water disaster: 7 people died and thousands got sick, some with permanent liver damage. Eventhough they couldn't get Harris on this one (tories can get away with anything), it was obvious that he was responsible, so they got him out of the way on time for the election (which they lost anyway). In fact the tory loss on the last Ontario election was pretty catastrophic (got only a quarter of the seats).<br />

<b>Famous conservative economics: get elected with a "morality" bullshit (e.g. Clinton's sex life), use your position to borrow as much money as you can, give it all to your friends and leave a devastated waste land behind. After 4 or 8 years the tories usually "clean house" (steal everything), then hand power back to the Liberals to fix things and start producing wealth again. When it's done, they come back for it...</b> We have seen this policy in the US, in Ontario, and now we've got Harper.

The Liberals could use a timeout, during 12 years they lost their edge and got some dirty stuff going as well. They will have a new leader now (hopefully either McKenna or Tobin), weed out the bad elements then come back stronger than ever. By that time (about a year from now) the tories will have lost all of their credibility. Basically, the only way Harper can stay on power is to team up with the Block, give special treatment and help to leave Canada (after the next election), and in exchange they support Harper in screwing the rest of Canada. Mark my words for this...<br />
