Canadians are dilusional: PM

The PM has news for those 34,400 Canadians who lost their jobs in December.  "Suck it up, Bucko.  The US is in worse shape!"

What to hell does that mean?  Should unemployed Canadians shuffle off to the bread lines and soup kitchens singing the praises of Harper because he is not Bush?

What a joke.  This is the same PM who told Canadians that Canada had strong financial fundamentals and the the bellyflop that was the TSE was not a problem... it was an opportunity to buy more stock.  With what money would we buy this stock, Steve?  Our saving were gone, banks were not offering credit and, indeed, credit is what got us into the problems in the first place.  And, if you were able to buy stock when Steve-the-Economist recommended it, you would have lost even more because the bellyflop turned into a dive into a dry pool.  You would have been better off listening to Joe-the-Plumber.

Gotta go.  The food bank opens in one hour and I have to hitchhike across the city because the Transit dopes are still on strike.
