This Can't Go On - Harper Conservatives Spend Spend Spend

The Fraser Institute often does good work, but they seem obsessed with hiding the guilty from view when the guilty are Conservatives. This article does a good job of describing the very real problem of the spending obsession of the Harper Conservatives, and does note that, but spends far more time trying to shield the guilty from scrutiny.

Hi:

“This cannot go on” is an excellent piece and should shock anyone not aware of how out of control federal financing is getting into voting to stop it.

Claiming it was the Reform Party's “pressure” on a majority Liberal government that lead to the change from the path to ruin of the Mulroney Conservatives does seem farfetched. The Chretien Liberals were given a mandate by the voters specifically to fix the Conservatives mishandling of the federal finances. Give credit where it is due, to Mr. Chretien and the voters who said we are not going to take it anymore.

As for a former key Reform Party member who is now the Prime Minister; Mr. Harper should be condemned for what he has done to destroy the partial reforms.

Why is it that others can learn from history, but our fearless leader cannot? Castro seems to have noticed what a failure socialism has been and has now publicly said so. It remains to be seen if he will follow that with actions but his admission I thought was powerful considering who he is. This letter of mine was published in the National Post this morning. A friend said it was read on the air by Jerry Agar on CFRB1010 too to his great surprise given he was reading it too so I guess he figured I have cornered the market on media? ; -)

Here is as written and as published (interesting I consider the published one actually stronger against Harper).

As submitted:

Side by side this morning I see the old socialist Castro finally admitting he was wrong now that he sees the results, and a younger Harper promoting yet another massive pork barrel project despite having seen the results of such socialist policies. Ya win some and ya lose some.

Jean Chrétien, who had earlier 'seen the light' and massively turned around public finances here that had been devastated by an open admirer of Castro, Trudeau and Mulroney who had continued Trudeau's trend, was unfortunately followed by Harper who has reversed us back to a course towards socialism.

Depending on how serious Cuba is about moving away from socialism perhaps someday Canadians will be flocking to Cuba for more than just the sun, that is unless they see the problems but do not reject the old ways as the current government here has.
