[R-G] Fwd: Harper's last campaign announcement

[Anthony Fenton]

The last few (un-heard) words of wisdom from PM Harper on the campaign  
trail as we enter the big day...

Dear fellow Canadians, on this Thanksgiving weekend we have much to be  
thankful for as the world leaders attempt to stave off a global  
financial meltdown caused by the de-regulation of the financial sector  
in the US under President Bush.
Given my fondness for deregulation in any and all sectors, we  
Canadians should be thankful that I wasn't running the show for the  
past six years.
We should be thankful that I wasn't allowed to run amok with all my  
plans to open up our financial institutions and get some mergers going.
We should be thankful that the previous government didn't approach  
these things with near religious zeal,  with blind faith in those ever- 
so-dreamy 'free markets', free of big-brother government rules.
But lastly, we should be thankful that by the end of the day I'll once  
again be elected as your trusty Prime Minister.
