943...Are Insecure Liberals A Problem?

Or is it insecure Tories?

Methinks it is the latter.

Our beloved Prime Minister Stephen Harper was speaking yesterday at an Irving owned machine yard in Saint John, New Brunswick and a number of prominent, i.e., elected, Liberals wanted to go see the Prime Minister of all speak.

Macleans.ca tells us that "Moncton MP Brian Murphy and New Brunswick Liberal MLAs Abel LeBlanc and Stuart Jamieson, the latter of whom was designated by the provincial Liberal government as its official representative at the event...", were turned away at the door.

Saint John Conservative MP Rodney Weston says that the issue was security.

Or insecurity.

310...Shell Shocked Economies

Life is tough in Detroit, Michigan, the epicentre of the world's economic crisis and, in a Canadian Press story and The Conference Board of Canada is naming a component of Metro Detroit, Windsor, Ontario, as ground zero of the economic recession in our nation.

Things are not rosy anywhere in The Great White North but they are especially not rosy in the Rose City where the economy is slated to shrink 5.6 per cent which is more than double the projection for the country as a whole, 2.5 per cent.

Most of the gloom is in Ontario; the only non Ontario city in dire straits is St. John's, Newfoundland, which is getting rocked by the drop in the price of oil. Ironically, of the fourteen mid sized cities surveyed only one, the other Johnnie, Saint John, New Brunswick, is showing growth.
