Seeing the latest Liberal ads purportedly lambasting "Harpernomics" made me smile first and frown a second later. Do Canadians really fall for this, or are the grits just releasing junk into the ether for the fun of it?
Quoting the Toronto Star in their ads is plain childish. Alleging polluters are given blank cheques is false, since the Tories have environmental regulations at the provincial level. And if the Liberals believe that old-fashioned notion of government driving economic development it means they haven't grown up since the '80s. The sole driver of economic development is the wealth producer, not the redistributor. Companies and consumers create the drive needed to push the economy forward.
The ad about "liberal leadership" cites Dion's "achievement" of bringing together 182 countries to fight global warming. Rule of thumb dictates that the more attendees a meeting has the less matters can be resolved. The image of Dion whacking his gavel on the table is emblematic of him driving another nail in the coffin of multilateral environmentalism.
I can't imagine anyone being fooled by these superficial attacks on what has been an excellent record of economic management and leadership in a minority. Can you?
