When you’re right you’re right.
If we needed one more reason to turf the federal Liberals out of office, we were handed it yesterday.
In their most blatant and desperate attempt yet to cling to power, the Grits have unveiled a mini-budget that promises the modern day equivalent of a chicken in every pot.
The government had the nerve to call yesterday’s financial blueprint a fall economic statement but one news report summed it up for exactly what it is—$29 billion in promised tax cuts to help Canadian voters forget the sponsorship scandal.
Magically, Finance Minister Ralph Goodale has now found a $13.4-billion surplus in fiscal 2005-06—money taken out of the hide of taxpayers but which the Liberals plan to use to shower us with tax breaks.
We’re not sure whether Conservative Leader Stephen Harper should be outraged or flattered as the Liberals delve into his party’s planning books to find the planks they will use to construct an election platform.
Goodale, after 12 years of Liberal government in Canada, has suddenly seen the light, conceding that we need broad-based tax cuts. We agree, but we also needed them last year and the year before that and in 2002 and … well, you get the picture.
And a dash of pepper:
Bring on the election, and the sooner the better. Be ready, though, for the Liberal spin doctors who will tell you their party has been forced to go to the polls by one party that’s too far to the right and another that’s too far to the left.
The truth is that the Liberals have been proven to be the party that is just too corrupt to be trusted another day.
