Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre makes good daycare stand

I heard this address to Parliament by Conservative Party MP Pierre Poilievre (Nepean—Carleton) yesterday, Feb 1 2005 on CPAC. 

It concerned the stupid, impending Liberal Party state-run socialist national daycare program. 

This new social program, which the Liberals promise (no not threaten) will be modeled after Canada’s socialist health care system (no, seriously!), and will soon enable parents to plug their kids into the government-run service in future.  This is step 57 in the liberal-left plan to weaken Canadian families and make them more and more reliant upon the benevolent state, thus ensuring a steady supply of voter stock into the future and further liberalising the nation.

If things go according to plan, the Canadian nanny-state will soon look after us starting at an even earlier age.  Just what we need!  Of course this will all come after the emergency gay ‘marriage’ legislation, and decriminalizing pot-smoking.  Yes, this is the government who will look after your kids soon. 

I’ve written at length about it, but I thought Mr. Poilievre’s speech was good and echoed many of my sentiments.  I’m glad he’s keeping the issue on the front burner as best he can.

(From Hansard)

Mr. Pierre Poilievre (Nepean—Carleton, CPC): Mr. Speaker, I confess I am new here and I do not know all the rules, but I always thought it was against the rules to bring pets into the House of Commons. I have just noted that in fact there is a big elephant in the room, an enormous elephant that we are not focusing in this debate. It is quintessential to the discussions surrounding the budget, this elephant is, yet no one seems to be discussing it.

Of course I refer to the Liberal plan to institute a national government-run babysitting bureaucracy, or what the Liberals call a national day care program. We might be hearing something about this elephant in the upcoming budget, but we are not yet sure. I would like to discuss this enormous elephant in my address to the House today with regard to the budget that we expect to see here at the end of February or in early March.

Let us start with the principles that the Liberal government says this elephant will be guided by. The first principle, of course, is one of the Liberals’ catchphrases. They love using this word even though they are not quite sure what it means. They call it universality. They plan to put into place a government babysitting bureaucracy or an elephant that can universally carry every child on its back; that is what they are promising, anyway.
