Economy Keeps Exceeding Expectations.. Time to Let the Liberals Screw it Up

Setting a "Liberal" course for Canada..?

Well.

Following up on my post a couple days ago referencing Canada exceeding the growth of other OECD countries, we see more evidence of an improving economy - much to Michael Ignatieff's chagrin.

As reported in today's Financial Post, after economists had predicted Canadian building permits increasing between 1% and 1.4% in February, when the numbers were crunched by Statistics Canada permits rose by 9.9% during the month to $5.8 billion in new building permits.

That equals private investment and new jobs for those keeping score at home.

Yet another reason why we really need to change captains on this ship which seems to be sailing true into increasingly calming financial seas...

I would like to see the Conservatives review their position on increased prison spaces - but otherwise, the course seems sound.

Meanwhile, Michael Ignatieff wants to cancel our plan to buy new jets for our military, by doggedly refuses to offer up what, exactly, the alternative will be and what it will cost.

Can you say Sea King Helicopter fiasco?

Next thing you know, the contract will be cancelled, the military will not have the air support we need, and, at the end of the day, we'll spending more than they are complaining about now.

If they are going to complain, they had better be able to outline a logical and sensible alternative.

But that is NOT how Michael Ignatieff works.
