Harper: Tories Would Spend $200M On High-Speed Internet In Rural Areas

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper promised an additional $200 million to improve broadband service in rural areas and remote communities if elected on October. 19 during a campaign stop at an agricultural retail store in Lancaster, Ont.

In the post, Brazeau attacks Harper’s alleged “heavy handed” and controlling leadership, as well as his apparent silencing of those in the Tory caucus with “differing opinions”.

“This country will not go into recession next year and will lead the G7 countries”.

And he’s taking well-aimed shots at Liberal rival Justin Trudeau, saying he only cares about “big-city issues, like legalizing marijuana”, and lacks experience, knowledge and judgment.

Harper’s campaign has tried to steer the pre-election discourse back to the economy. It translates to “stay the course”.

During a campaign event in Quebec City, Mr. Harper highlighted that the voters have to make a similar decision on Election Day as investors make in the face of market uncertainty.

Brazeau, 40, was appointed to the Senate by Harper in 2008.

On November 29, 2008, six weeks after his re-election, Harper was sending a much more dramatic message. Not only did it prompt questions better suited to Harper’s preferred narrative, it offered a pointed reminder that he’s still the man in charge.

You do not – as any financial planner will tell you, whether it’s from the prime minister on down – you do not run around and change your plans based on daily market news.

“It’s a concern”, Teneycke said.
