Only a short time ago, a young lady from this
community was charged with welfare fraud after admitting to
stealing several thousand dollars from the welfare
system.
Arrested, then put under house arrest, three
years ago Kimberly Rogers died while eight months pregnant. Now
we have a bunch of politicians in office who, along with their
buddies, steal millions of dollars and what do we Canadians do?
Make him Prime Minister.
Steal a few thousand dollars and you are
scum, but steal millions and you are a genius. Paul Martin, who
was a former finance minister, should come clean.
Any minister of government is responsible for
those who work for him and under him. He knew the books. That's
why taxpayers pay the ministers excess amounts of money and
give them the perks and privileges. Why was the gun registry so
expensive? We've wasted more than one billion dollars on this
registry so few people want.
How can the Liberal government justify
spending that kind of money when people are sick needing care
and are being put on waiting lists. We also have homeless
people on the streets, our kids need new books and the province
must slash budgets because our federal government is so busy
stealing money
and paying into a bottomless pit like the gun
registry.
Make no mistake people, Paul Martin hasn't
changed and he will be the same after the election.
Remember the promise made by Jean Chretien he
would axe the GST. That very promise gave him a majority
government. But what did he do? Nothing.
At the same time he also said he would
abolish free trade. Well folks, I remember these things. But I
guess others forget. Mind you we have also seen in
Ontario the consequences of slashing taxes.
It has also meant slashing school budgets, health care
spending, slashing environmental programs.
I think it would be good for the federal
Liberals to receive a clear message that we Canadians are tired
of getting ripped off. We are tired of being promised something
and later saying sorry can't do it suckers. Remember this when
casting your vote June 28.
