I did not have thopportunity to read the entire book, but did go through the Manufacturing decline section. Seems to be a bit of bias by the author of this portion. In one breath he states the factors for the decline were laid down before Harper took office and in the next he blames him for the decline. In the text he states value added exports have been declining since 1999. Kind of hard to lay that at the feet of the current government.

The real issue is the manufacturing sector relied on a $0.63 dollar to be competititive. Nothing stays static and the failure of it to invest in productivity enhancements to be able to compete at a different exchange rate is partially responsible for the decline. The other factor is 80% of our trade is with the US. The US economy is in the toilet and so are are exports to the US. The rise in our currency value is relative to a weak US dollar. On the world scene our dollar has not improved that much. So a move to being more of a global exporter would be beneficial for the manufacturing sector. Changes of this magnitude take time to adapt. Gradual changes can fit in to long term business plans, but large changes in a very short time period have a dramtic negative impact. None of the parties on the federal scene had any policies on the table that would have had the slightest impact in the change in our trade fortunes. As much as people liked Martin as a Finance Minister his record as a Prime Minister indicates we would not be in any better position today. Some would argue we might be worse.

In the meantime thank your lucky stars for having a strong natural resource sector to take up the slack.

I quickly perused a couple of chapters, the "Racialisation and (In)Security" one in particular. Looks like an excellent book.

LOL. Of course it looks like an excellent book to you. It is reinforcing every falsehood you believe in.

Okay. Why are they falsehoods?

Well Caelon pointed out a handful right off the top.

Harper is the devil didn't work in the last election and it won't work this election either.

It isn't a question of whether or not it will work so much as whether or not he is the devil (to use your words).

I don't know the answer to that, but there is plenty of reason to conclude that the CPC is a remarkably bigotted party.

Oh, where to begin? lol

Just for starters, take a look back to the CPC's roots, the Western Canada Concept, and its leader Doug Christie.

So you are against the CPC because it has a strong western base and at one time a bigot was involved in the party. That just shows you are not interested in discussion but just trying to force your beliefs on us. Do you have anything that is really justifiable and current that would prove how awful the CPC really is?


I didnt think so!!

Your post just proves my point. You're not interested in learning anything new. You just want to read into the same propoganda that you believe in.

Just like a tin folier has all the conspiracy theory sites saved in his favorites folder.

Simple.

Streaker is not a bigot.
Streaker is not a conservative.
Therefore, conservatives are bigots.
Pure reason.

Kinda like the NDP is full of lazy unemployed pot smokers which appeal to lazy unemployed pot smokers?

It seems like you're a little uncomfortable dealing with the widespread bigotry within the CPC.
