Tories Fiscal Restraint Smacks of Opportunism
The Tories first attempt at fiscal restraint is nothing more than political opportunism. If the first move to tighten the belt came from and for the PMO it would have sent a strong message and set an example for the rest of us. What kind of message is sent when Harper is in effect saying “When the time comes to tighten our belts the buck stops with … Elizabeth May”. The driving force behind any such measure should be to better the Canadian economy, not to hurt your opponents. Harper should be ashamed!
