| qu1j0t3 | "on broad issues, Harper has been willing to demonstrate a surprising streak of flexibility. At the beginning of this slump he deliberately pushed up the federal deficit in order to get the economy moving. | May 22 01:49 |
| qu1j0t3 | On the seminal question of medicare, he moved away from a stance of outright opposition to Canada’s favourite social program and instead adopted a craftier position of benign neglect. | May 22 01:49 |
| eikonos | whaa? | May 22 01:53 |
| qu1j0t3 | the rest of the column is on the duffy theme, check my link. | May 22 01:53 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's a lot stronger than coyne's :) | May 22 01:53 |
| eikonos | Once upon a time, there was a conservative government that reduced deficits, and everybody lived happily ever after. #PoliticalFairyTales | May 22 01:54 |
| qu1j0t3 | lurl | May 22 01:54 |
| eikonos | also, everyone got a pony | May 22 01:54 |
| qu1j0t3 | but no healthcare | May 22 01:54 |
| eikonos | lol | May 22 01:54 |
| eikonos | how exactly is "benign neglect" crafty? | May 22 01:55 |
| eikonos | is that like a benign tumour? | May 22 01:55 |
| eikonos | and is the suggestion that deficit spending is necessary to get the economy moving an admission that the free market isn't working? | May 22 01:56 |
| eikonos | basically, a lot of wtfs packed into three sentences | May 22 01:57 |
| eikonos | i need a job like chris selley where i deconstruct this shit | May 22 01:58 |
| eikonos | but with some added cynical humour (whether it's actually funny to other people is up for debate) | May 22 01:58 |
| qu1j0t3 | Walkom is not that bad, don't overreact :) | May 22 01:59 |
| eikonos | i'm just telling you what i read | May 22 01:59 |
| qu1j0t3 | no | May 22 01:59 |
| qu1j0t3 | you're taking it out of context. | May 22 01:59 |
| eikonos | yeah… because you pasted it out of context :P | May 22 01:59 |
| qu1j0t3 | Walkom had already said Harper was a free market Thatcherite. | May 22 02:00 |
| eikonos | i … what? | May 22 02:00 |
| qu1j0t3 | which is why the deficit thing was worth pointing out. | May 22 02:00 |
| eikonos | wtf is a free market thatcherite? | May 22 02:00 |
| qu1j0t3 | read the whole column. | May 22 02:00 |
| qu1j0t3 | a right winger | May 22 02:00 |
| qu1j0t3 | like Thatcher | May 22 02:00 |
| eikonos | i admit, i didn't real all of the lord of the rings.. where was that creature mentioned? | May 22 02:00 |
| qu1j0t3 | free market ideology | May 22 02:00 |
| qu1j0t3 | read the whole column. | May 22 02:00 |
| eikonos | i heard about the orcs and trolls and stuff | May 22 02:00 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's about Duffy | May 22 02:00 |
| eikonos | Mike Puffy? | May 22 02:00 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's a stronger column than Coyne's. | May 22 02:00 |
| qu1j0t3 | but that's because it's from the Socialist Star and not from the NaPo :) | May 22 02:01 |
| eikonos | seriously though, has there ever, in the entire history of the world been a right-wing government that reduced the deficit -- without great influxes of cash from a natural resource gold rush like north sea oil, albertan oil, etc? | May 22 02:04 |
| qu1j0t3 | and even then | May 22 02:04 |
| qu1j0t3 | they usually manage to balloon it | May 22 02:04 |
| eikonos | right | May 22 02:04 |
| qu1j0t3 | the idea is to stuff you and yourbuddies' pockets with gold as fast as you can, so when the scandals catch up, everybody does well | May 22 02:07 |
| eikonos | indeed | May 22 02:09 |
| eikonos | so BC managed to elect an actual climate scientist to local govt | May 22 02:24 |

| schestowitz | " | May 22 15:08 |
| schestowitz | There is a lot of people who does not like the road Ubuntu decided to follow, but for me is actually the road that is leading it to the success where a lot of others failed. | May 22 15:08 |
| schestowitz | When there is a visionary leader in front of a company or project, and there are resources to accomplish the vision, then this leader should become a benevolent dictator. There is no real need in following everyone’s opinion. Actually there is usually no need to even hear someone’s opinion. When everybody should be heard, and every opinion should be considered before making decisions, the time is wasted. | May 22 15:08 |
| schestowitz | Of course I am not saying that this dictator, or dictators, should never listen, because in such a case they will just be losing important ideas. But some decisions should be taken quickly and in a dictatorial way. | May 22 15:08 |
