A Harper cabinet minister willfully mislead the House and has refused to come clean for her actions. While Oda still gets driven around in her taxpayer funded ministerial car with her taxpayer funded driver, the Canadian people have been mislead, and hard working families and churches who take the time and effort to support groups such as Kairos are being disrespected. Canadians deserve better.

Conservative disrespect towards working mothers shows Harper is out of touch
So we've had Conservatives call Nortel pensioners "pathetic" (http://youthforanita.blogspot.com/2011/01/tory-blogger-calls-nortel-pensioners.html) and now Conservative cabinet minister Diane Finley (the wife of Harper backroom boy Doug Finley, who got a partisan Senate appointment) has accused working mothers of not caring about their children by not staying at home.
http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/932826--minister-draws-fire-over-comment-on-child-care?bn=1
Liberals are calling Finley’s remark an insult to working Canadian mothers and fathers and a clear declaration of bias in favour of stay-at-home parents — a rarity in Canada, where most mothers with children work.
“For decades we’ve realized that women are working, men are working and the second thing we’ve realized is that there’s a great benefit to children from working and playing with others and learning with others,” said Liberal MP Bob Rae. “The notion somehow that child care is some form of alien abduction is just completely preposterous.”
Anita's mother worked as a kindergarten teacher, so this issue is very personal for her. Statements like this show how out of touch the Conservatives are with the needs and wants of hard working Canadian familes, handing out big corporate tax breaks paid for by the pocket book of Canadians to a real plan to encourage job creation and investments in the social services that Canadian families deserve.

Team Anita volunteers protest Larry "cata$trophic pay cut" Smith
The Conservatives have been showing more and more how out of touch they are with middle class Canadian families. Wanting to hand out big corporate tax breaks to companies like Big Telecom which look to reward consumers by hitting them in the wallet and limiting access to the Internet, and today by appointing Larry Smith to the Senate. Smith will get $100,000+ of taxpayer money in the Senate, and he's using it to campaign for a seat in the House of Commons in Quebec. What did Smith say when he joined Harper's Senate? That for him, having to get a paycheque of $132,000 a year on the taxpayer dime was for him a "catastrophic" pay cut. For reference, the median income for full-time workers in Ottawa West-Nepean is under $47,000, according to the soon to be cut census.
Coming out the recession, when hard-working Canadian families are faced with a government that has no plan to balance the books, Ottawa West-Nepean families deserve better than Harper's backroom buddies using their taxpayer dime to play politics.
Liberals standing for Canadians families and consumers, not Big Telecom

Canadian families deserve a government, and Ottawa West-Nepean families deserve an MP, who will stand up for middle-class consumers, not the Big Telecom corporations that would slash your ability to use the Internet while getting a corporate tax break paid for from your wallet.
