Com a 7 election 2008 Winnipeg free press sunday october 5, 2008 Manitoba ass Federal Cabinet minister Vic Toews made a $ 15 million economic Promise saturday in St. Boniface Riding a constituency his conservative party Hopes to wrest away from the liberals in the quest for a majority in the general election less than two weeks away. Recent poll results suggest the tories May have stalled Short of the 155 seats necessary for a majority and the last 10 Days of the Campaign will see a push for a breakthrough. Toews with St. Boniface tory candidate Shelley Glover standing nearby promised that if his conservative party is re elected it will reinstate $ 15 million he says was Cut in Manitoba by an earlier Liberal government. Glover is fighting to unseat Liberal Ray Simard. Toews the senior tory my who represents the Provencher Riding in Eastern Manitoba made the Promise outside the my cars renovation project in South Winnipeg construction paid for in part out of Western economic diversification funding the program where he says the cuts were made. The announcement came on the heels of an announcement earlier yesterday by Harper to restore $ 300 million in regional development funding Cut by the former Liberal government for the West Quebec and Atlantic Canada. Toews said the $ 15 million is part of the $ 300 million promised by Harper. For Manitoba it Means $ 15 million which was Cut by the previous government he said. Senator Sharon Carstairs who is co chairing the provinces Liberal Campaign said she wonders Why after already being in government the tories Are Only promising this now. They ave had two and a half years in government and this has Only become an Issue at this moment Carstairs said laughing. Its the most blatant political propaganda they could have. Kevin.

Nip candidate drops out Ottawa an Ontario nip candidate has stepped Down saying he can no longer remain in the Federal election Campaign because of the ceaseless repetition of his violent and misogynist comments made on the internet. Andrew Mckeever is the fourth of Jack Lay tones candidates to step Down because of comments or actions that happened before the oct. 14 election was called. The Durham ont., candidate posted comments on Facebook calling one War activist a fascist Bitch and threatening to beat up another person. Because of the repetition of comments i made before becoming a candidate comments that i have already apologized for and profoundly regret i can no longer continue As a candidate Mckeever said in a statement. Carstairs blasts vote rules sen. Sharon Carstairs says the liberals agree with Manitoba Keewatin ook in new Okim Owin grand chief Sydney Garri Ochus opinion that new elections Canada rules requiring photo identification with an address on it and an attestation form signed by the reserves chief will prevent first nations people from voting. There remains a very real risk that this new legislation will disenfranchise thousands of voters in Manitoba alone and tens or hundreds of thousands across Canada Carstairs said in a statement. As a country we need to ensure that does not happen. Pm denies plagiarism Moncton n. B. Prime minister Stephen Harper brushed off fresh charges of plagiarism saturday saying phrases in one of his speeches lines apparently first spoken by a former Ontario Premier Are nothing More than political boilerplate. The liberals have twice this week accused Harper of cribbing from other political leaders. On Friday a Liberal news release compared lines from a 2002 speech by former conservative Premier Mike Harris with a Harper address Given two months later. Three sentences Are nearly identical. A few Days earlier it was revealed that Large parts of a speech Harper gave As opposition Leader in 2003 urging Canada to Send troops to Iraq were copied from an address by then australian prime minister John Howard. From the news services election Roundup b Kandahar of h ele Rou by Kevin Rollason Toews makes $ 15 m Promise to Manitoba o Ottawa the leaders of Canadas two main opposition parties shifted their focus from fighting prime minister Stephen Harper to fighting each other saturday after a new Post debate poll placed them in a statistical dead heat. With the new Canadian press Harris Decima Survey showing the new democrats a Mere two Points behind the liberals Jack Layton and Stephane Dion both claimed the Mantle As the Leader with the Best Chance of defeating the conservatives. But the four Day rolling poll which concluded Friday suggests that Layton has been the biggest beneficiary of a Post debate Bounce and the one canadians seeking change Are turning to at a time of growing economic anxiety. Campaigning in Halifax Layton appealed to liberals to abandon the unpopular Dion and his Green shift policies that the nip Leader says make the party unelectable. Ism going to Tell them. Lets get together and defeat Stephen Harper by supporting new democrats in this election Layton told a crowd of 500 at St. Maryus University. Dion cant win because of his Carbon tax proposal and he win because he has supported Harper too Many times already but we can win. The Liberal Leader had a similar message at stops in Dieppe n. B. And Miscouche p. E. I., saying nip supporters Are helping elect Harper by splitting the anti tory vote. Dion also said Lay tones proposed business tax increases would be a Job killer. If you Are worried about your Job then think twice about voting for Jack Layton because right now the Only Job a vote for the nip will save is Stephen harpers Job Dion said. Nip workers have started handing out new signs to supporters which Bear the slogan United with Layton. The Liberal new Democrat Appeal for each others vacillating supporters comes after the new Harris Decima four Day rolling poll the first that contains substantial sampling of Post debates respondents found the two parties nearly tied with the liberals clinging precariously to a 22 to 20 per cent Lead. The Survey also suggests that harpers dream of winning a majority government May be slipping away after his party dropped two Points to 35 per cent. Meanwhile the greens also received a minor debate Bounce to 13 per cent support. Harpers failure to present new initiatives to ease mounting concerns about the Economy May have Hurt him in thursday nights English language debate particularly in Ontario said Harris Decima president Bruce Anderson.
