Fair Vote Canada: Electoral Reform (Click here)

“Many of Canada’s problems stem from a winner-take-all style of politics that allows governments in Ottawa to impose measures abhorred by large areas of the country. Modernizing Canadian politics would not only be good for conservatism, it might be the key to Canada’s survival as a nation.” - Stephen Harper (1996, when he supported electoral reform). 

Federal job cuts underway with more to come... (Click here)

"Evidence of job losses across a number of federal departments is beginning to trickle out, with reports at Fisheries, Environment, Defence, the Bank of Canada and heritage institutions like the National Gallery and the Museum of Civilization. [...] all eyes are now on the most opaque areas of the budgetary blueprint -- deep cuts to government spending. [...] Sources say employees at Fisheries were told last week their department is getting hit with $53 million in cuts, while Environment eliminated 50 contract positions, the Bank of Canada cut 33 workers and the National Gallery sent five curators packing. Defence is poised to chop at least 2,100 positions over three years, according to media reports. Civilization has at least 10 positions on the block, say reports." - CTV.ca


"Anybody who says you can't find money in Ottawa without cutting vital services to people simply is living in a fantasy world," Harper pledged on the campaign trail."That's not how government works. There are inefficiencies and it is your job to constantly find them." - CTV.ca

And then they say in the Throne Speech that they will be creating jobs... bull.
