The Games They Play

If our country's future were not at stake, I would say the games they are playing in Ottawa these days are pretty laughable.
The Liberal mantra has been that the Conservatives are not doing enough to stimulate the Canadian economy. However, now that the Finance Minister has announced the $50 billion deficit, mostly the result of the efforts to stimulate the economy, the Liberals are crying foul. This is a leap of logic, but this is politics. It looks bad on both of them, but Prime Minister Harper is trying to deflect the negative news about the deficit by digging up old video footage of Michael Ignatieff in his former days when he left Canada for some forty years. He said and did a lot of things that can be used against him today. Is it fair? I feel it is justified in that Iggy has an ambition to be Prime Minister and we should know of what kind of stuff he is made. He has not exactly been a loyal and dedicated Canadian let alone a Canada booster for most of his life and yet he wants to run the country. Is this not opportunism with a capital O? In the meanwhile, our future is being mortgaged for bailouts that will not work but only drive up the debt of the nation, something that has to paid back sooner or later. Watch for increased taxes, inflation, and perhaps an election coming to a neighbourhood near you.
