Paul Jackson meanders through the rights and wrongs of politicians and discusses some interesting points, in our Columnist section today. He’s right on the mark on every point.
His column is called “Fiscal infidelity” but the last few paragraphs explains so much about whence that infidelity comes. Here’s a snippet:
Yet, it is quite likely that getting into the higher echelons of the Liberal party is a bit akin to becoming a higher-up in the Communist party in the former Soviet Union.
In the U.S.S.R., being admitted to the hierarchy meant you got a pass to shop at select stores—their windows blacked out—that were stacked to the ceilings with gourmet food and consumer goods from Finland, Sweden and other Scandinavian nations, while the average Russian was scouting around hoping to barter for a cow’s head to stew for Sunday dinner.
Being admitted into the Liberal hierarchy, I suspect, involves a secret ceremony in which you promise to adhere to two tenets of faith.
“I will tell the Canadian people to do as I say, and not as I intend to do,” and “I now truly appreciate being given permission to rip off the average Canadian at every touch and turn, without fear of consequences.”
