As they head back to their ridings for the summer BBQ circuit, one has to really wonder what has been accomplished in the spring session of Parliament. Continued debate over the Afghan detainee documents seemed to be the dominating theme, along with the exhorbitant costs of the G8 and G20 summits. Let’s hope that federal MP’s actually get the wax out of their ears and listen to what their constituents’ issues are - because I can assure you that Afghan detainee censored documents are not even on the radar of the vast majority of Canadians.
Issues like jobs and pensions are the things that mostĀ normal ‘Ma and Pop’ people care about. They want to see government accountability with their hard-earned tax dollars. Let’s hope that the fall session of Parliament becomes more productive.
As an aside, it looks like the on-again-off-again Coalition talks with the Liberals and NDP are back on. You can read an article about it here. Sure will be an interesting summer for Michael Ignatieff. If he is looking over his shoulder - and he should be - he will likely be seeing that snake in the grass Bob Rae. He was nothing but poison for Ontario and now wants to spread his socialist nonsense across the country!
Enjoy the first day of summer next week - we will continue to blog on issues of interest. As usual, your comments are welcome. Have a great weekend.
