Scott Brison is mailing people in Newmarket, asking them, and possibly others, about their opinions about the current economic crisis.

This cuts across party lines.  I say we all offer our opinions.

Scott Brison has sent out a ten-percenter.  Nothing wrong with that.  It's all legal.  All the parties do it.  Get over it.

In this case, the pamphlet makes the obligatory jab at Stephen Harper, then asks the recipient to fill in a survey.

First question: Does it make sense to buy stocks when they are priced high or priced low?

Second question: Do you think that the government ought to trust people to spend their own money?

OK, the questions aren't quite phrased that way.

The neat thing about this, and for this the Liberals deserve some credit, is that you don't need to have received the ten-percenter to respond.  Instead, you can go to this web page:

http://feedback.liberal.ca/buying

From there, you can respond that (1) it does make sense to buy stocks when they are low and sell them when they are high, and (2) people don't like to pay taxes.

Hey, if my taxes are lowered, I'll have more money to buy undervalued stock and so pump up the economy (and make a profit doing it).

So I encourage you to help send the Liberals a message.  Fill in their online survey.  And don't fill in the contact information with goofy names.  Be serious.  Offer your opinion and stand by it.

This stuff matters.  Be honest.

If you do leave a response on the survey, then leave a comment here about how you responded and why.  Spread the word.
