bubblieoo@M_Ignatieff ok what are yours? Nobody wants a report on what Harper wants we can get the info on his business by asking him. So ur plans?
happytovote@M_Ignatieff And the well being of all Canadians in every region. I support SH priorities, as do millions of Canadian families.
varota201@M_Ignatieff Harper said corporate tax increase passed to customers. Ultimately we make the choice to buy or not from those corporations
Nyteguy@M_Ignatieff Lest we forget: Airbus Investigation/
TheUglytruthca@M_Ignatieff says the man who want "hug a thug day" instead of jail time for criminals. u r an idiot

liberalMichael IgnatieffAll I care about is making sure women are safe—and that means an effective gun registry. #elxn41 #db8
bubblieoo@M_Ignatieff what about everyone else?
hartbooks@M_Ignatieff he didn't really say this did he?
JimMojelsky@M_Ignatieff It doesn't matter if a gun is registered or not to be used in a crime. We do need safety for all, but this won't do it.
manuvie@M_Ignatieff - "All it does is make the gophers in Saskatchewan safe!
inotrobot@M_Ignatieff law-abiding citizens register guns. criminals don't. criminals shoot people. hunters and farmers don't. are you daft?

ndpLewis Cardinal@centralthought @HanaRazga A more fair society, ensuring that tax burden isn't placed solely on families and corporations pay a fair rate
centralthought@LewisCardinal @HanaRazga But sir I am sure you realize we already have progressive taxes on the wealthy, and a middle of the pack rate for
centralthought@LewisCardinal @HanaRazga corporate taxes when prov taxes are included. I understand how easy it is to not have principles and just try and
centralthought@LewisCardinal @HanaRazga spout populist crap about how bad the 'big corporations' are. Corps aren't just Pfizer and Exxon, they can be as
centralthought@LewisCardinal @HanaRazga small as a family farm.. Lets be honest with Canadians and not frame it as only massive polluting companies
centralthought@LewisCardinal @HanaRazga benefit from a tax cut on their business.. Seem fair?

happytovote@M_Ignatieff The Conservatives will deliver it all, not either/ or!
lisamoi@M_Ignatieff Really? The Liberals slashed health-care transfers in the 1990s to eliminate the federal deficit.
Garence_@M_Ignatieff Me too! I can't fly a jet and am not a criminal so health care sounds best to me.
HappyKarmaRT @M_Ignatieff Thx 4 choosing health care b/c right now health care for seniors in Canadian Hospitals is Hell On Earth. #elxn41 No 2 jets!

MaoriPoppins@Jenni_Byrne Such unreal and out-of-it sloganism Jenni! To think that @PMharper is trusting you in his #cpc war room? LOL!!! #elxn41
BrendanCalorie@Jenni_Byrne "a man who will tax an ipod is a man who will tax anything" - Do you still stand by this statement? #ipodtax #cpc #cdnpoli
PeteTongLaw@Jenni_Byrne we must do everything we can to stop the iPod tax.

Jamie Nicholls@Jenni_Byrne I guess Harper is in the same boat as Ignatieff then http://t.co/zoB1uhFJyi #hypocrisy #liberaltorysameoldstory
