Bob Rae Wants the Federal Surplus
Posted by kaqchikel under federal politics , general , leadership & leaders , political partiesThis morning’s NP has a column written by Bob Rae (could not find it on line). Rae is unhappy about the recent cuts implemented by the federal government, and laments that these cuts are being made on “ideological” grounds –cuz everyone know that liberals don’t make ideologically based decisions.
In the subtext of his piece, you can almost hear Rae saying that the federal surplus should be spent, and since it is to be spent, he’d love to be the one spending it because he knows precisely what to spend it on.
In light of the magic that Rae performed on the Ontario economy while he was premier, his mere suggestion that he would do better with any public purse shows that the man is either an amnesiac or a shameless man.
GOD help us if Rae ever formed a Federal Government. He would bring vote buying to a whole new level.
I love Rae’s comment during a interview that touched on the Ontario reign or terror , he claimed he would have been a better Premier if the Economy was good.
Well…DUHHHH , leaders are measure during the bads time as well Bob,and Martin and McGuinty jumped ship and everyone else for their problems.
