The more I read the Toronto Sun, the more I realize it speaks my language. I highly recommend people read the editorials and the columnists at this paper, and many of Sun Media’s papers: Calgary Sun, Winnipeg Sun and more (—don’t confuse the Vancouver Sun with a Sun Media paper—it’s a Canwest Global paper).
Liberal, Tory, same old story?
Nine months ago, four million Canadians voted in the general election for the Conservative Party of Canada.
They did so because they were unhappy with decades of Liberal mismanagement that has seen Canada turn from being a respected global player into an international afterthought.
Those four million Canadians voted for a party that was not the Liberals and wouldn’t support Liberal policies.
We certainly don’t think they wanted the voices of their representatives in Parliament neutered on the first major bill to be voted on in Paul Martin’s minority government.
It’s ironic that while Martin and the Liberals pay lip service to the “democratic deficit” in Parliament, it’s the Conservatives who have again widened that deficit by abstaining from voting for or against Ralph Goodale’s $200-billion budget.
This is a budget that commits all of us to more fiscal waste, hides more money in foundations away from the scrutiny of Parliament, puts into motion the Kyoto boondoggle that will waste billions of dollars, establishes a similar looming debacle in daycare, contains tax cuts so minute they require an electron microscope to be seen and only promises billions to our cash-starved military if the country keeps on electing Liberals.
And Conservative Leader Stephen Harper’s stated reason for endorsing this disaster which he said on the day it was introduced contained many Conservative ideas? (Really? Where?)
