If one wants to know how each of our 3 leaders will handle the finances of the country, one does not have to look any further than how they handle their own expenses as Members of Parliament.
For the most recent 12 month on-line report on MP's expenses (excluding salaries) here is a sample:
Jack Layton $628,913
Michael Ignatieff $570,984
Prime Minister Harper $281,255
Just think how much Mr. Layton and Mr. Ignatieff would suck from the puiblic coffers should they become Prime Minister!
By the way, Mr. Layton's wife, Olivia Chow dinged the taxpayers for $530,304. Combined, Jack and Olivia managed to take over $1,000,000 in expenses over a 12 month period from the public purse ... not bad for 2 socialists!
Perhaps Sheila Fraser our Auditor General should legitimize these exhorbitant expenses.

Ignatieff, Layton and Gun Control
To Iggy and Jack ... our two gun registry amigos .... allow me pass on some facts ... which I'm sure will not put even the slightest of dents into their illogical thought process when it comes to long guns.
- In 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
- Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
- Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and other peoples, who were unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
- China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
- Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
- Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
- Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1980 one million people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century, after gun control was enacted: 56,000,000
Switzerland issues every household a gun. Its government trains every adult on how to use it.
Switzerland has the lowest gun related crime rate of any civilized country in the world.
The real truth is that gun control laws and registeries adversely affect only - law abiding citizens.
The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
Assault is a behaviour ... it is not caused by an inanimate object!
By the way, 64,986,987 firearms owners didn't kill anyone today!
Looks like Prime Minister Harper is correct once again!!
