Conservatives often claim that electing NDP will lead to Greece or Iceland-like bankruptcy. There is one BIG problem with this logic. Both Greece and Iceland went bankrupt under CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENTS! Norway on the other hand, which elected social democrats like the NDP, is now the richest country (on a GDP per capita basis) in the west. It has a GDP per capita of almost twice that of Canada.
The road to Greek bankruptcy started with a single conservatives vote.
The road to Norwegian prosperity started with a single Social Democratic vote.
Today, the Canadian economy hangs in the balance between these polar opposites.
