In all my years living in this country, and watching
politicians commit political suicide I have never witnessed political parties
try to shoot themselves in the foot as bad as the liberals in B. C. and the
Conservatives in Ottawa are presently doing.
It’s like neither party wants to win the next election.
British Columbians wanted to get rid of the Liberal party
and their policies re HST. So the party made their leader their scapegoat and
then had the audacity to give him an award.
The conservative party then gave the voters of B. C. a
second slap in the face by appointing him to an exulted position within the
Canadian hierarchy.
The Liberal party continues to ignore the wishes of its
electors by keeping the unwanted
taxes.
The Conservative party continues to insult Canadians by
offering a pittance of an increase in the OAP but no increase in the GIS, and
instead of decreasing the budget by making the OAP available to Canadian born
residents only they want to stretch the already over burdened budget by making
it available to people who haven’t lived in Canada long enough to learn their
postal code.
Its like both parties are trying to commit political
suicide.
