Stephen Harper warns of tough times ahead in 2012 - auch für Einwanderer

Was das bedeuten wird kann man vermutlich ab März 2012 erfahren. Vorher wird das Wichtigste geheim bleiben auch wenn einiges schon angekündigt wurde.

Harper spoke to CTV News chief anchor and senior editor Lisa LaFlamme in a year-end interview.

Re: PM warns of hard times in 2012, Dec. 26
I have some questions for Stephen Harper:
1. Why not train our own people in skilled jobs? Taking out the trades in high schools was a bad idea.
2. What specific skills are you talking about for immigrants? Doctors becoming taxi cab drivers?
3. Where are all of the manufacturing jobs for our own people in this country? Of course, China.
4. What are the opportunities in Canada that you are talking about?
5. You say the bureaucracy has talked other majority governments into going to sleep for three years. Who really runs this country: the elected MPs or the bureaucrats?
6. What can your government do for this country? Instead of telling citizens what the other parties can’t do, why not tell us what you really can do and stop the bickering?
