"Post? What post?"

While Googling the Interwebz for a combination of "Harper", "deficit" and "Jesus Christ, what a moron", I chanced across this delightful bit of nostalgia from Blogging Tory "Right as Rain" from back in September of 2008. Let's all enjoy it together, shall we?

Defeating the Deficit Lie

... A common rallying cry is "conservatives=deficit"...

Repeat after me:

We are not in deficit. We are not in deficit. We are not in deficit. We are not in deficit. We are not in deficit. We are not in deficit...

In summary, the facts proven in this post are:

1. Canada is not running a budget deficit
2. Economists are predicting larger then forecast surpluses
3. Mike Harris did not leave the province of Ontario in a deficit
4. Jim Flaherty did not leave the province of Ontario in a deficit

We're better off with Harper.

Here at CC HQ, we like to describe that kind of post as "astonishingly, eye-rollingly, thigh-suckingly fucking stupid" or, for the sake of brevity, "going Twatsy."

Here at CC HQ, we're all about the brevity.
