People call me shrill. And that’s for calling the Liberals “liberals”. (I guess they’re embarrassed being called that.)
The National Post is subtly suggesting that Stephen Harper and the Conservatives pull the plug on this tub of lard. Get us an election, now, they say.
Spot just some of the subtle language they’re using today in their editorial.
This drifting, ideologically bankrupt government is in total disarray, reeling from the taint of corruption that can only get worse. It richly deserves to be defeated and that’s what the opposition should do—now.
[…] The sponsorship scandal is the worst plundering of taxpayers’ money in recent memory. And thanks to Judge Gomery, everyone knows it. As Cervantes said in Don Quixote: “Nothing like striking while the iron is hot.” Or, as a backroom Tory strategist put it yesterday: “How often does a situation like this land in one’s lap?”
Defeat this battered government and a thoroughly bad budget dies—a budget that does nothing to ease the crippling tax burdens that support slush-fund foundations and the multi-billion dollar surpluses set to be squandered on Paul Martin’s reckless asymmetrical federalism.
Defeat this government and the Kyoto mess is halted; the nonsense of a same-sex marriage law is killed; and the $1-billion-plus farce of the gun registry can be legislated out of existence.
The loyal opposition doesn’t have a moral obligation to wait for Gomery’s report; it has a moral obligation to defeat this arrogant government at the earliest opportunity, which means now.
[..] Canadians relish the painless privilege of voting a hapless government out of office. And by now, it should be obvious to even the most casual political observer that this is a government beyond redemption.
Why don’t they tell us what they really think?
