In September, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canada would NOT fall into recession, but on October 6th, the TSE fell more than 1000 points and the Bank of Nova Scotia predicted “something worse than a recession” in 2009. Polls now show Harper’s judgement on the economy in doubt and Stephane Dion’s Liberal Party building real momentum.

Top 10 Stephen Harper election promises.
Number…
10. Free “lawn mounties” with every purchase of a snow shovel.
9. Steve promises not to take any more political advice from George Bush or Mayor McCheese.
8. Free beer for every Canadian who says “eh” after every sentence, eh?
7. Steve promises to work the words, “Kiss me, I’m Canadian” into our national anthems’ lyrics.
6. Sell Quebec to the Japanese for billions by telling them its Euro-Disney. (Ooops, sorry. That’s one of Steve’s Top 10 ways to sell out Canada).
Number 5. Steve promises not to start his next re-election bid at least until the end of the month and, he also promises to give up his Bob Barker haircut.
4. Nothing for the kids… er… make that free beaver rides for the kids!
