Sort of like the saying: a face not even a mother could love

In a report this week, the Fraser Institute said Canadian government stimulus packages had little to do with last year's economic recovery.
 

Instead, it credited private investment and increased exports for the rebound...The Vancouver-based group, which is an advocate of free-market economic policies, released a report saying stimulus measures contributed just 0.2 per cent to GDP growth between the second quarter and third quarter of 2009.
 

In contrast, official statistics indicate the economy grew by 1.1 per cent over the same period.

Of course, Harper criticized the right-wing think tank.  Because mommy is only right when she agrees with him.
