Harper's economic recovery plan was simple bring in more immigrants to bring up the demand for housing while stimulating renovations and home sales bringing up prices enabling homeowners to rack up debt while allowing industry to make a fortune and speculation run wild.  Now what, Canada has no trade deal and since the recession Canadians have compiled much debt so no recovery there just band aid solutions.  I think its a riot as voters pick party because they think party has business savvy as Canadians are left to ponder can Canada wither the Great White Short?
