What a bunch of liars that I didn't vote for!!! They need to stop playing blame game and take accountability for their budget!!

Too bad for you but Ford has the Majority.

[brianswanson]

Ford is right in what he is doing, the hell with quebec and them walking over the rest of Canada.

You can't balance the budget Canada lost its ability to print its own money in the early sixties now we borrow from a privately owned Central Bank of Canada at an interest rate by which by which the people could never pay off, if you want the ability to sustain infrastructure social programs other obligations as well as the CBC you will need to as it is imperative to Champion the return money printing power back to the Canadian people where it belongs so that we can borrow money to sustain our government without paying as we once did prior to that ability to print their own money was taken away from us and where we had silver in the coinage which help prevent inflation. and this shall be the means for us to be able to continue to financially support CBC Corporation, hospitals other primary social programs on vital services to sustain the infrastructure and the Integrity of society otherwise on this course we are headed for collapse of the currency economy and Society. I hope you learned something new please give me thumbs down thumbs up so that I know this comment was not removed thank you

More English would be a lot better on the questions and no answers from the liberals and i am sick of them repeating them selves all the time, Canadians want a balanced budget.

[cdhewko]

These are always sad to watch. I can't believe how often posturing and speeches about problems that don't effect Canadians get so much time on the floor. Sigh... Oh.. On a side note can you post this without the translation of French? Thanks.

[dbertrand]

NDP has nothing concrete to add. Ever. Totally out of touch with real Canadian concerns.

[tinas]

LOok at those faces, they all look depressed. a president, one party and one government for one people would be the answer. Rather than perpetual campaigning they all would think and talk about what is best for the country.

[bobbradley]

I have a very important question we're can I learn bafflegab that way I don't have to answer any questions that the government wants from me should be good for a few years.and question number two liberal numbers are far from the provincal numbers who do we believe.

[brianswanson]

English has no rights in quebec so they should change that.
