Canadian Govt. About To Fall
The National Post:
AMHERSTBURG, Ont. (CP) – Conservative Leader Stephen Harper condemned Paul Martin’s $4.6-billion agreement with the New Democrats as a “deal with the devil” Wednesday as he served notice he’s poised to topple the prime minister’s fragile Liberal government.Seeking to deflect any blame that his party would be forcing a reluctant electorate back to the polls, Harper condemned the deal to replace $4.6 billion in corporate tax cuts with an equal amount of social spending as a bare-faced Liberal bid to buy both time and votes.
“It is the most disgraceful thing I’ve seen in all my years on Parliament Hill,” Harper fumed.
“I will be asking our caucus to put this government out of its misery at the earliest possible opportunity.”
Pull the trigger, Stephen, pull the trigger.
