“Stephen Harper is only concerned about the next day, the next poll, to show gimmicks to buy your vote for the next election. Never he's concerned about the next generation,” Mr. Dion said.
Harper believes that if there was to be a market crash, it would have happened a while ago. As there was a collapse of the second largest U.S. investment house Monday, comes as the Toronto stock market tumbled, and the Canadian dollar continued to lose value and the price of oil dropped below $95 U.S. a barrel, that was Harper's response. His belief is that there are significant problems in U.S., but nothing to cause the economy to go in recession.
Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion blames Harper for being a lousy economic manager who spent money on the election but caused Canada's economy to a state which affects the U.S. as well. Dion claims that he will cut taxes in particular areas that would affect the economy such as incomes, savings, and business profits. He will also fund 250 million dollars in fuel-efficient fishing boats. Dion states that over the 6 months in 2008, Canada has been slow in the economic growth and that more jobs had been lost in July than any month since 1991.
Harper's idea of benefiting the economy is by helping those who are self-employed. “Ironically, self-employed Canadians who are successful and who create jobs must pay into the EI system on behalf on their employees, but cannot access those benefits themselves,” Mr. Harper said. “This is not right.”
As Dion seems to be concerned about fishing boats, Steven Harper is concerned about the more important factors of the society. From a point of view,fishing boats are of slight benefit to the society. The society should not be helped by funding in fishing boats. Does the society really want to increase in fishermen? Is saving fuel a major factor of the society? I believe that Harper's idea of helping the self-employed is a more effective method to aid the society. Since those who are self-employed to not have the benefits of the EI (Employment Insurance) even though they pay for it. Harper's idea helps the society's small businesses which will help others in the future
