Our National Lampoon Style of Government
The more I see of this government, the more my attention is drawn to the Liberal leadership race.
We have a Prime Minister who treats us like mushrooms. His Communications Director Sandra wants staff in the various ministries to spy on their managers and secretly report back to her. Talk about a bi... er... "treacherous person". Then you have Jim Flaherty's off the cuff knee jerk whimsical financial policy decisions; Rona Ambrose's fumbling and bumblings with her environment portfolio; Peter MacKay's puerile behaviour in his bitter relationship with Stronach; Vic Toews wanting the police to help him select our judges; and a host of Conservative MP's too meek to speak.
I have always been right of centre in my political thinking and I have always voted either PC, Reform, Alliance, and recent years, Conservative. But, I confess I'm chomping at the bit to watch the Liberal Leadership Conventoin. Go Michael, Go.
