Harper's budget makes wrong choices and ignore families

Stephen Harper's budget fails to address the concerns of local families.

In the Federal election of 2006, Canadians sent a clear message to both the Liberals and the Conservatives that they were tired of corruption and mis-governance. They did this by first turfing the Liberals out of power and by second; giving the Conservatives a minority government.

The Liberals have consistently propped up this Conservative minority government by refusing to vote or by failing to challenge Harper. They are in effect...giving Harper a majority government!

Canadians are paying Liberal MP's a $141,000.00 salary to stand up and be the Official Opposition. These MP's are doing nothing to make our voices heard or to earn that salary. If it was you or I who was taking money and not performing, we would be fired immediately. THe Liberal corruption continues.

Someone has to say no to Harper!

With Stephan Dion's Liberals siding with Harper's Conservatives, the NDP is the only national party in the House of Commons that is standing up to Harper and making fairness a top priority.

This budget, I call it Lib Lite, continues to place corporate tax giveaways ahead of investing in hard-working families. A tax free saving account is nice IF working families were in a position to save the $5,000.00 per year. Take a look around you and tell me who, in your family or circle of friends can sock away 5K.

The Harper budget fails to address the concerns of all Canadians. There is no money for child care, no new money for housing, no new financing instruments for combating climate change and nothing for skill development.

For all those Liberals out there who are as equally fed up as I am of Dion's lack of action, I know of at least one Party that would welcome you with open arms.
