Yes there is a connection. As more and more pump has the "Pay before pump" sticker added all over the place you can pretty much tell average Canuks are being squeezed.
"Its the economy stupid" a rare Clinton quote that seems to stand the test of time.
Mr Harper may being boring and not getting the changes done but his successor is running things into the ground so with the even bigger impact of pump price shock of a Federal Carbon Tax kicking in and hurting the average guys in the wallet it will be a very good slap in the face that one should always remember the following :
Government produce NOTHING, the more you are promised the more is wasted feeding the redistribution machine.
Liberals are liberal with other people's money
Hopefully this will bring a new sensible PM that will freeze all wages and cut all department expense by 10% and may be things can turn around before Canada is the next Greece / Italy.
Thanks for stopping by.
