WaterLoo


Prime Minister Stephen Harper was at a Waterloo company on Wednesday talking about supporting small business and repeating warnings about a potential coalition.

Harper and his wife, Laureen, stopped in at Sports Systems Unlimited Corporation, a company that makes aluminum sign boards that are used around ice rinks, in NHL arenas and other hockey venues.

Harper promised a ‘cultural shift' within the government, so that each time a new regulation is applied to business, an existing one must be eliminated.

On the surging popularity of the NDP, especially in Quebec, Harper told voters their choice is a Conservative majority that will focus on the economy or a coalition with an unknown agenda.

"The fact that the NDP may be the leading opposition party, that I think that actually clarifies the choice for Canadians. It makes it very clear the choice is between on the one hand somehow dealing with our economic challenges through vastly higher levels of permanent spending and raising taxes and also a diversion in constitutional negotiations, or focusing on the economy, keeping taxes down and creating jobs."
