(See John Lashinger's "Leaders and Lesser Mortals" and how the media have used that against him - especially his comments on inventing polls.)<br /><br />Maxim 52: Ignore Maxim 51 if you care more about your ego and career than you care about winning elections and advancing the principles you stand for.<br /><br />(I suggest you don't publish this comment.

That's fine with me as you are allowed to have your own views on the subject you have at heart. What I have trouble accepting is that you mentioned the problem with Canada's government is that there are too many laws (paraphrasing you) hindering free-market (...). <br />Do you think Canada would be in the comfort zone it is presently enjoying (Carney as chairman of Financial Stability Board G20 one of those great examples) were it not for its financial laws? Truly, you must not be in favor of British-American 1980's and on deregulations seeing how poorly they are now doing? It would be nice to have your feedback on this.<br /><br />Vince, MtlVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280206388785275374noreply@blogger.com
