Canada's "Captain Democracy" Stephen Taylor fluffingly and lovingly reports on the adventures of his BFF Stephen Harper:
Nothing is more important than the Canadian economy
That's a nice philosophy. In fact, off the top of my head, I can think of how Stephen the Corpulent could have saved us, oh, millions of dollars down the road:
Abdelrazik sues Canada for $27-million
And assuming Abousfian Abdelrazik gets only half of what he's suing for, one wonders what could have been done with $13 million. Oh, look:
Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl said that an unexpected fire in another native community meant having to replace the school at a cost of $13 million” (Toronto Star)
Wow. So you can build a whole new school in a native community for $13 million. That is some missed opportunity there, wouldn't you say, Mr. Taylor? But feel free to keep lecturing us on the topic of good economic stewardship. We need the chuckles.
Oh that's nothing. Their vaunted GST-so-what-if-there's-a-recession-coming-down-the-pipe?-This-is-ideology-we're-talking-here cut cost them the entire surplus left to the country by the "previous Liberal government" as they like to say.
ReplyDeleteMind you, credit where credit's due: Look at all the money we saved with Harper's prorogation of Parliament, right? That's $300 million in "waste" right there.
And thank the FSM he's willing to break his own law on principle and save us another $300 million by not letting us have the election he promised us next month.
Shame he didn't come up with that one a last year about this time.
