Here is the complete list of our responses to the Globe Economy Debate from our live blog. It ends up being semi-live as our leader was only able to join in to the PVR recorded debate one hour after (8 pm Central).

Question 1: Jobs

Canada is facing structural, rather than cyclical change. Do you have a job plan, beyond taking things out of the ground?

Response: Restructuring Canadian economy through Mincome or Basic Income Guarantee (B.I.G.)

Question 2: Energy & Environment

In the last campaign, the NDP put a cost of $21 billion on its carbon-pricing policy. What is the cost of your planned cap-and-trade proposal?

Response: Moving toward a new information and energy economy.

Question 5: Housing

Canadians have been on a borrowing binge to buy ever more expensive homes. What would you do to guard against a housing bubble?

Response: Cause of housing bubble, preventative measures and its positive effects. Ending the tax credits and ballooning taxes.

Question 6: Taxation

You will raise the corporate tax rate from the current 15% to 17% What economic, rather than political, reason justifies your decision?

Response: Pro- and anti-corporation rhetoric misses the point. Small business vs monopolistic corporation and how to create a competitive Open Market.

(Our retort to the leader’s responses: Making our economy sustainable and stopping the continuous tax increases. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1snfq07{.extern})

Leader’s debate on: Creating a New Economy

Response: How to actually create a new knowledge and information based economy. You cannot talk about economy without even mentioning poverty.
