Here’s Our Report Card
March 12th, 2009 Posted in Canada Election
Seems Iggy thinks Canadians are all waiting for his opinion, or his report card, on the Conservative government’s performance…
In a laughable stunt, Michael Ignatieff is giving us his assessment on employment insurance and infrastructure ahead of his first report card on the Harper government.
In exchange for allowing the Conservatives to remain in power and for allowing the federal budget to pass—Ignatieff put the party on “probation”. (Roflmao)
The, even more laughable, is the Canadian version of the “fairness doctrine” read bt the speaker of the house, Peter Milliken, ordering MPs to stop making disparaging comments against Iggy. Of course Iggy’s body guard jumped all over it.
Here’s your report card Iggy… can we remove you now?

How is Iggy qualified to issue a report card? For pete’s sake, he’s a human rights geek who has steered well clear of economic complexities his whole life. What a buffoon.
Speaking of human rights, when is someone in the MSM going to ask the geek for a clear perspective on section 13 of the HRA? He must have thought this through, in fact, it should be a mickey mouse question for such an erudite scholar.

The IMF beat Iffy to it, and gave PMSH a glowing A+ report card this week.
The IMF has once again changed the outlook for Canada downward,
but praised the Harper Government for the handling of the crisis.
Quotes from the report:
The Washington-based IMF, a 185-country organization dedicated to economic growth and poverty eradication, released a report Wednesday that said,
“Canada is better placed than many countries to weather the global financial turbulence and worldwide recession, thanks to sound policy management and proactive steps to maintain economic and financial stability.”
“With the global outlook marked by unusually high uncertainty, Canada has prudently taken proactive steps and should stand ready to act further in case downside risks appear,” the Washington-based IMF said.
“The rapid deterioration in the global environment is affecting Canada through its strong international linkages.
The IMF said “the strong fiscal package announced in January, which was large, timely and well targeted, . . . will buoy demand during the downturn,” adding that Canada’s economy is expected to weaken further in the coming month “before picking up on the back of the policy stimulus already in train.”
