Just Not ready

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

The more I listen to Carney, the more I'm convinced he is a lying sack of shit and would send this country even further down the road to ruin. He can't and shouldn't be trusted.

Please explain. I have given a solid reason why splitting spending, debt and deficits into different categories is dumb, and misleading. Feel free to provide a counter argument that supports your point.
Seems this guy must be talking out of his ass too…..

Did you listen to Phillip Cross? Damning.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Agree, the Liberals can’t change their spots. Look for more deficits and money wasted. God help us if voters in Ontario are hoodwinked in believing they will change.

Hopefully the NDP drop to the benefit of Conservatives.

Your beef is with GAAP and the Financial Accounting Standards Board so you should take up your concern with them....

So the life long politician with zero experience in the real world is the person you think is best able to tackle the major crisisis facing Canada?

And what has he accomplished while in Government?

There is no record to attack because he hasn't done anything of note...

What roles did Stephen Harper give him when he was Prime Minister?

As for the Philip Cross video someone posted, that is suppose to disqualify Carney? I watched it and came away with the opposite view...

Second guessing the work of someone in very senior positions, especially if they dealt with crisis is what some people like to do...

The bigger worry is when someone has never been is a senior position and therefore has never had to deal with a crisis...

The moment is too big with too much to lose to turn the office of Prime Minister over to such an unacomplished person as PP when you have the experience of Carney willing to take on the challenges...

Really shouldn't be a hard decsion to make...

Your listening comprehension is very poor.

Well, I'm not fooled by Carney. Maybe you are just more trusting. Again, I don't care how many degrees and accolades Carney has - I don't trust him because his policies aren't what I want for Canada. You are putting far too much trust in his so called "qualifications". I was a professional in my career and I have worked with lots of professionals with what looks like a great education. Some of them were great, but there are a lot of stupid people out there that are supposedly "qualified" to do a job.

I spent the first half of my working life in the corporate world where one of my earliest tasks was breaking down financial statments from companies doing business with us...

The last half was spent owning and operating a company with multi million $'s in annual revenues..

I am relying on my experiences to form my decision...

If you have accomplished what a Carney has you will have detractors and critism from those who disagreed with some of your decisions, so the odd critism from the likes of Philip Cross does little to sway my opinion...

Your challenge if you want your vote to help the country is to consider the qualifications of the leading candidates...

PP who has accomplished pretty much zilch in his life in politics or Carney...

I've been a paid member of the Conservative Party for years but declared myself an Independent once we chose PP to be our leader...

The party wanted an attack dog, and that is pretty much all PP has done in his long career in politics, he's good at it but today when faced with the likes of Trump or Carney he comes across as that yappy little dog who goes up against the German Shephard and gets his ass handed to him...

Changing your story on Cross, like Carney on resource development and transfer payments

Well, as I said, I don't care how qualified Carney is, his policies are not what I want for this country. God help us if he is elected. We need to ditch the Liberals, no matter who is leader.
