POLITICS AS USUAL: HARP(ER)ING FOR AN ELECTION
So, Gomery's report is out.
Harper (with Duceppe) says the report's contents illustrate--in black and white--the need for a quick fall election.
You know what this report is telling Canadians?
Don't vote for Chretien.
Hell, fire up the buses! Victory is ours!
Folks, lets not kid ourselves. The majority of this 6,025,321,121-page report is insider baseball. The average Canadian will hear this:
- The government abused taxpayer's money (gasp!)
- Money was lost.
- Paul Martin had nothing to do with it.
- Jean Chretien and his homies did.
- Those homies got kicked out of the Liberal party.
Or, to put it another way:
- All politicians are crooks.
- All politicians are crooks.
- All politicians are crooks.
- All politicians are crooks.
All the rest is details, details, details. While the devil may reside there, Canadians will wait for the paperback novel with the pictures in the middle on sale at Chapters for 30% off.
Repeat after me: THEY DON'T CARE.
Know why? Becuase it has NO impact on their lives.
Now if the report was entitled: "The Rt. Hon Paul Martin is a Rt. Hon. Thief", then we'd have something. Canadians don't like people who steal from them. But he didn't. So says Gomery.
Right now, we have nadda. People are more worried about what to get Aunt Edna for X-Mas than they are about whether Chuckie Guite took kickbacks or not.
Sorry, boys, you're going to have to go back to the library, hit the books and come up with some policies that will actually effect people's everyday lives.
In the meantime, learn from the Spring and don't go jumping into bed with the Bloc or you...... oh wait.
Nevermind.
