Angry in the Great White North

How has the economy performed?  Well, it's gotten better.  Not for everyone, but then that has always been true.  During tough times, of course, there seem to more losers than winners, but what of the trends?

We'll find out later today, but for now, let's consider the Harperdex:

So if people listened to Stephen Harper, inasmuch as the stock markets are concerned, they'd be doing pretty good right now.  A return of 11.3% is pretty good during good economic times.

If we'd listened to Michael Ignatieff, it's hard to say, if only because Michael Ignatieff has no fixed opinions or positions.

But we can be certain than when the economic report card is delivered, the Liberals will toss it aside immediately, unopened and unread, and study carefully the polling numbers and their financial statements to see if it makes sense to attempt to force an election.
