Seems the scare train is alive and well in regard to the NDP's growth in numbers. I say this because there are those that keep saying an NDP win even for offical opposition will lead to higher taxes, and a unbalance in the financial market. They on the right wish to up hold Bob Rae when he was Premier in Ontario as an example of this as a sure thing. Make no mistake promices have been made, but to say the sky will fall if the NDP get into office is just a bunch of clucking. If you remove the planes ordered by Mr. Harper, and put out a proper tender for a different type of aircraft, as they are needed, there will be money saved. Also ending corporate subs will also help the new Gov in the way of money. Perhaps bringing in a flat tax geared to income, could help as well. It would help remove some of the bloated public service, which again would save dollars. There are lots of ways to save money, and to me it is to consentrate on those thins that need our attention, as when you bandage something it always cost more in the end when you have to fix it. An elected senate would be a good thing or just get rid if it as we really don't need it. The Gov General too, as the office costs way to much money. There are lots of ways, Layton isn't stupid, and people see the difference between him, and the other party leaders. The people are flocking to the NDP because they are sick of the same old things. Voting Layton will fix many holes in this country, and the biggest will be restoring the publics faith in Gov!
