I was floored to read Harper's quip about the ongoing stockmarket meltdown when he said that he figured there'd be some real bargains just waiting to be snapped up soon.
Yes, Steve, those are the shares that the little people once banked their retirement security on and which they're now being driven to sell off to salvage what they can. Oh I get it, their misfortune is a glorious opportunity for your kind, eh? Their loss is your gain, right Steve?
Oh, that's right. You get a hefty government paycheque, don't you Steve. Not to mention that cushy pension that'll be coming your way. No problems, no worries and, for the most egocentric leader in memory, that seems to translate into no action either.
Enter, stage left, Mr. Dithers. I guess you could call him the Ghost of Effective Government past, eh Steve? He surfaced yesterday to help us remember those good 0ld days. From the Toronto Star:
Martin reminded the crowd how Liberal governments turned a $42-billion deficit into a $12-billion surplus that created a "surging" economy.
But under the Conservatives productivity has sagged and job losses mounted and Harper delivers a "lecture on how fiercely committed he is to doing nothing," Martin said.
"Who will act on your behalf to protect our economy, protect our jobs," Martin said.
I'm guessing Paul that it won't be Steve. He's been pretty much busy the last two years electioneering, leaving the country under wraps on cruise control while he stayed in permanent campaign mode.
