1748...NDP Sends IOU To The Tories

The New Democrats, who propped up the Tories while the next Prime Minister of Canada was trying to take down the Stephen Harpers, have, Bill Curry of the Globe and Mail writes in this morning's bird cage liner, sent a wish list to Jim Flaherty.

You may have heard of Mr. Flaherty. He is the Minister of Money.

Reviewing, the NDP kept the Tories in biz when the Liberals were hot for an election. Now it is time to get paid.

Today the NDP's finance critic, Thomas Mulcair of Outremont, wrote a letter to Mr. Flaherty outlining what the Dippers want for keeping his regime in power. They want, among other things, corporate tax rate cuts to slow down, the credit for fixing your house re instated and the EI, Employment Insurance program, to continue to be beefed up.

Good luck on that and if you don't get what you want Mr. Mulcair may be you and Jack Layton and your 35 other MPs could prop up the more progressive mainstream party.

The one in Red.

  1. Poor Dan,
    More than 24hours have gone by and nobody responded to your crap post.
    I guess most people have more self-respect than to debase themselves by responding to your sad demonstration of your drug induced amnesia. Too bad for you I'm bored tonight.

    The Liberals propped up the Cons 77 times on confidence motions in the last 18 month, including a budget that removed a woman's right to fight for equal pay for work of equal value in the public service. They also seem quite prepared to prop them up again. They have been an officially useless opposition.

    Keep smokin' man!
