Stephen Harper and his cabinet let Ontario drown in dollar and oil-related issues while their friends in Alberta gushed with cash.

Now that an election is imminent, they are running around the Province of Ontario making last-minute, random and poorly thought-out distributions of cash to companies that are unable to manage that money.

Good idea.  That’ll win us back.

Didn’t the massive corporate tax-breaks work?  What happened to the genius of your macro-economic strategy?  Oh yeah.  The money upped and left Canada leaving us with an empty wallet.

What was really unfortunate is that the Windsor announcement made by Stephen Harper yesterday was overshadowed by the announcement of the death of a local boy as he was stationed in Afghanistan.

What to say?  Promise us jobs, but deliver us bodies.  What a shame.
