"Way to go Jimmy!"
That's what Steve Paikin reports John Baird said to Jim Flaherty after presenting the Harper regime tough on wallet's scheming for the next year.
And what is it that makes John Baird so happy?
Maybe it's spending 1000x more of your tax dollars on warplanes than on post-secondary students.
Maybe it's spending 1000x more of your tax dollars on prison scheming than crime prevention programs that keep families safe.
Maybe it's spending more of your tax dollars on the G20 for one weekend than on Canadian seniors.
John Baird says the Harper regime is doing a great job. We say hard working Canadian families deserve better, like investments in family home care, strong pensions that Canadian families (not just "pathetic" Nortel pensioners) can rely on, support for higher education and families with children in school, and quality child care.
Election or no election, we'll be working in Ottawa West-Nepean to present a positive alternative.

Harper hit the family budget to promote himself - $26 million worth
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/harper-governments-latest-ad-campaign-costs-taxpayers-26-million-117897189.html
At a time when gas prices are skyrocketing, the cost of food rising ever higher, what is the Harper regime doing for Canadian families?
Taking $26 million out of your pockets to pay for Harper's self-promoting partisan ad blitz.
The Harper regime is already taking $1,000 from every Canadian family to pay for warplanes it tried to hide the cost of, and they have been in contempt for refusing to let the Canadian people know how much the tough on wallets prison scheming will hit families. Ottawa West-Nepean families deserve better than a government that hits the family budget to pay for the Harper regime's self promoting politics.

Our democracy is not a game, John Baird
With the Conservative regime facing multiple violations after the Speaker's ruling, what did John Baird say today in Question Period when forced to defend the regime's actions?
He called being in contempt of Parliament, and violating the sacred trust that Canadians put in our elected bodies, "distractions".
What did his political boss Stephen Harper call our democracy? A "game".
Ottawa West-Nepean families deserve better than an MP and a regime that sees your democracy as a "game".

We said they thought they could get away with it...they can't

The Harper regime hit a wall today in it's ongoing battle with the public interest and letting you know what they are doing with your tax dollars.
"Speaker Peter Milliken has found the Conservatives in contempt of Parliament, handing powerful ammunition to opposition claims the Harper government’s autocratic behaviour represents an abuse of power...a powerful rebuke.
The Liberals asked Mr. Milliken to rule on whether International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda misled Parliament when she said she did not know who had altered a document that deprived a foreign-aid group of funding. Ms. Oda later told Parliament that it was she who had ordered the document be changed...The Liberals also accused the government of failing to provide sufficient information about the costs of its...prisons."
And of course, John "Bev Oda is doing a great job" Oda was standing behind his backroom political bosses and not standing up for the taxpayers and families of Ottawa West-Nepean, who deserve an MP who listens to them, and stands up for everyday concerns like the family budget and not handing out tax breaks to big corporations.
