Howlers from a Conservative back-bencher:
we understand that a small, efficient government is beneficial to the economy, our personal liberties and our daily lives.
and...
too much regulation and meddling will slow economic growth, limit individual initiative and impact the day-to-day lives of ordinary Canadians
and...
we’ve eliminated some programs and agencies that were not achieving results; and we’ve reviewed and reduced department spending levels throughout the federal government, including handouts to businesses from regional development budgets.
and...
most of my constituents and small businesses would prefer lower taxes to fatter business subsidies
and the final knee-slapper
if governments do, as the Post‘s editorialists write, “bring home the bacon,” voters know who’s paying for it.

The small c in the headline is the real howler.
ReplyDeleteWhen John Williamson was head of the CTF he spoke at Landowners meeting in Alexandria Ont. and soundly trashed government waste, corporate welfare, high taxes,etc.....etc... Pierre Lemieux, our local MP used to talk about leaving money in the pockets of the people who earned it. It just goes to show you that principles one may hold while aspiring to be an MP go out the window in a hell of a hurry once the job has been landed. Pissing taxpayer money away will get you reelected and those who control the purse strings target the grease as they see fit.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if that was the same guy. He is living in a dreamworld if he thinks he is in a conservative government.
DeleteI just read that first sentence up above and I think I got this right. Harper would trash the Human Rights Commission and give us property rights and other personal liberties if it wasn't for his big inefficient government preventing him from doing so.
ReplyDeleteIf this guy thinks his party is acting conservative he belongs with justin because hes smoking weed for sure
