Canadians lose, Dion buckles and Harper wins

Have you been watching this?

Stephen Harper just unveiled a budget where profitable banks and big oil companies win, and average Canadians are clear losers.

Harper’s message to today’s families: “You’re on your own.”

And that’s why only one Party, Jack Layton and the NDP, called on all opposition parties to finally put the brakes on Harper’s failed agenda.

And yet this Conservative budget is going to pass. Yes, you read that right. Once again Harper will push his agenda through Parliament with the help of Stéphane Dion.

This is getting to be a dirty habit for Mr. Dion. Just recently,

  • Harper rewarded his corporate friends with massive tax giveaways while Dion sat on his hands during a key vote;
  • Harper yesterday received Dion’s approval to extend his failed war in Afghanistan (one of the biggest flip-flops in Canadian history);
  • And now Harper has Dion’s consent to pass a budget that puts the priorities of big banks and big polluters ahead of hard-working Canadians.

It’s time that you and I send a message. Mr. Dion, after 3 strikes - you’re out. Average Canadians are looking for leadership that will take on Stephen Harper, not enable him.

I urge each and every one of you to re-examine your voting patterns. Some of you support the NDP Provincially yet vote Liberal Federally. It is time that we all sent a clear message to Dion and Harper!!!

The only option for a voice for Working Families is with Jack Layton. Harper doesn't care and Dion and his team refuse to what they were elected to do. They are completely ineffective and are supporters of Harper's Conservatives.

Sort of gives meaning to the old saying, 'Liberal / Tory, same old story'!
