While in Welland on Friday Mr. Harper was still pushing forward with the corporate tax cuts for all his buddies in the private sector.

Saying:

"We are gaining more revenue from the business sector by having low rates than we were by having high rates," Harper said. "This is in the interest of everybody and it's the direction we'll continue to go."

He also added that the latest job numbers that show full-time employment rose in Canada by 38,000 in December were "encouraging." But he again warned the global recovery is still fragile and "significant challenges" remain.

Am I the only one to see that full time employment numbers rose in December because it was the holiday season? Most companies hire on almost double the staff, just to let them go, come January and February. It is called seasonal help.

Or how about the fact that in December of almost every year previous to the the corporate tax cuts and the "economic downturn", The full time job statistics were around double the 38,000.

Rewarding the corporations with tax cuts is not effective, nor is it working! The only thing that it is doing is making it harder for the little guys to compete. Clearing the market place for the mega corporations.

Take a look at this governments economic policies. Slam the average people with more taxes (H.S.T. , eco tax, and so on) and rewarding the big corporations with tax breaks. Sounds just great for the average Canadian does it not?

That CBC news article does not even touch on the fact that Mr. Harper dodged everyone who came out to see him. Some of the workers who have been locked out by U.S. steel in Hamilton, were there to speak to him. Some concerned Canadians wanted to let him know what they thought about the consumer product safety act, and he even dodged the children who were there to see him.

So Mr. Harper wants to reward the big corporations, and not even let the Canadian people who are being effected by all these polices (not just the tax cuts) see him, never mind get a chance to speak to him.

Oh and Mr. Harper the Canadian people do not care about your "global recovery" We care about fixing Canada, and making it a country for and by the people. Not for and by the corporations!

Bill C-36 is one of the biggest threats to Canadian sovereignty ever seen, and it could come into law as early as next week.

After quietly passing the house of commons, and two very quick readings in the senate. The senate could very possibly be giving the bill its third and final reading as early as December 8th 2010.

On the Canadian senate debate section for the second reading, on their website it states:

Canada Consumer Product Safety Bill

Senators confirmed hundreds of emails, phone calls and faxes flooded their offices, and the Liberal senators who tabled the NHPPA's requests were consistently voted down by a Conservative majority.

The Stephen Harper government seems to be hell bent on totally dismantling Canada as we know it. Between the fiasco of the Toronto G20, his several comments on "enlightened sovereignty" and "There is no more Canadian economy, only a global one", and now this bill C51/C-6/C-36 that has been presented 3 times with different names since Harper government came into power (Only 3 examples of a very long list).

If we wish for our country to remain the Canada that is the True North Strong and Free. The Harper government and this bill need to be stopped!

We all need to contact as many senators as we can, to let them know what the Canadian people think about this bill. We can also ask them to allow Shawn Buckley to appear before them. Using our democratic power to ask a constitutional expert to be allowed to advise government on the constitutional and legal risks associated with Bill C-36.
