Well now that the credibility of the NDP – and our electoral process – has been utterly destroyed by May’s Federal election this may be a good time to take stock of our surreal situation.
It is clear that Quebecers have a new strategy when it comes to dealing with Canada. Gone are the Bloc separatists and installed are the left-wing loonies that are sure to advance Quebec’s Marxist cause beyond its borders. At least with the Bloc there was a chance – albeit slim – that Canada would shake off the shackles of Quebec. But seeing that the rest of Canada is far too juicy of a goose to kill outright, gone is the notion of destroying Canada, and now the plan is a lingering death through financial bankruptcy, especially if the NDP gets any of the $70B of spending they promised during the election.
Quebec and the NDP are a match made in heaven – or hell if you’re a freedom loving Canadian
Quebec and the NDP are a match made in heaven – or hell if you’re a freedom loving Canadian. Quebec’s insatiable appetite for entitlements and socialist programs is enough to make Cuba and Venezuela blush with envy, and the one-way pipeline running from Alberta to Quebec – courtesy of Trudeau – has been sucking wealth from West to East for nearly 30 years. Consider transfer payments that Ontario and Quebec receive; while Ontario receives $2.2B or $166.00 per capita Quebec receives $7.8B or $988.00 per capita. In fact Quebec receives more Federal transfer payments than the other five provinces combined, and Quebec’s share is over half of the entire $14.7B Canada will spend in 2011/12 – fair isn’t it? So while the luster of separation fades Quebec voters saw an even greater opportunity to crap on the rest of Canada by electing any rabble with an orange lawn sign, as if to say, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet”.
I am sure Ms. Bosseau never imagined that her trip to Vegas would be so incredibly profitable; she’s the assistant bar manager that won the election lottery in May, earning for herself a $600,000 payday that no Blackjack table could ever match. Not too bad of a windfall considering all she did was sign some nomination papers and collected a few dozen signatures, never imaging in her wildest dreams that Canadians would actually vote for her. She doesn’t speak French, she doesn’t live in the riding and you can’t blame the poor dear for vacationing in Las Vegas during the election. But hey, who ever said our politicians represent the electorate? Frankly I wouldn’t trust Ms. Bosseau with the cocktail order let alone have her masquerading as a legislator on the public dime. Whatever credibility and faith Canadians had in these elected buffoons evaporated with the likes of Ms. Bosseau and the other NDP rookies who are the laughing stock of the rest of Canada.
Aside from John Layton’s embarrassing massage parlor soiree, living in public housing while receiving public sector pay, and living the life of a Mercedes Marxist – he and his public servant wife racked up over $1M in expenses paid for by Canadian taxpayers in 2009 – his political ideology is really what makes him and his party so dangerous to freedom and liberty in Canada. Like the saying goes, Marxists will do anything for the common man except be one. Like most socialists he has no regard for private property, and he firmly believes that every Canadian is entitled to extravagant hand-outs even if they bankrupt the state. And why not, it isn’t his money. So while the average single Canadian earns barely $33k a year, while he looks at his paycheque to see the 30% that the Federal government skims to pay for John Layton’s and Ms. Bosseau’s salary, he can feel good about helping Quebec continue its destruction of our great country.
