What some people won't do to stay in office. This Prime Minister has tried political triangulation and it has had mixed results: he's managed to cling to power but hey, this performance is no "new-Nixon". The big political rehabilitation payoff is as distant as ever. No one in his or her right mind is about to give this PM a majority mandate. We've seen him in action, that's the trouble!
So on to a new strategy: lo and behold, someone has managed to effectively muzzle the Canada Revenue Agency. Notice how they have, quite conveniently, nothing to say about the legal status of the home renovation tax credit. What is Stephen Harper doing to open up the channels of communication so Canadians who are entitled to the straight goods on this matter can get it? Nada, nothing, zip.
Why can't some of our politicians come clean and admit what we already know -- namely, that the credit is not in jeopardy should this country suddenly find itself right in the middle of an election campaign.
I thought our leaders had more respect for the voters -- and for their intelligence. Apparently not. Back to politics using the lowest common denominator, a tried and true method of the sharp wedge politics which has recently become all the rage in Canada thanks to the constant stream of muck which has been deliberately encouraged by the powers that be nestled in between the Ottawa and Rideau.
Canadians want the facts so they can act accordingly. Not just another con job emanating from a bunch of overly clever guys looking at doing whatever it takes to keep themselves in control of the political agenda.
