Contempt of parliament is a scandal; getting a massage is not

The Harperites are showing their true slimy colours by trying to make the non-story about Layton into a story.

  • Ending the long form census is a scandal. Funneling G8 money to build pretty sidewalks that aren’t anywhere near the G8 is a scandal.
  • Backing Bev Oda who lied to parliament is a scandal.
  • Shutting down parliament twice is a scandal.
  • Paying the Integrity Minister half a mill in hush money is a scandal.
  • Not telling other parliamentarians how much your American-style jail plan will cost the Canadian public is a scandal.
  • Withholding pertinent documents in the Afghan detainee affair is a scandal.
  • Having a justice Minister (Vic Toews) who is an adulterous, two-timing philanderer who spawned an out-of-wedlock child is a scandal.
  • Pre-screening every single person you meet on the campaign trail is a scandal.
  • Limiting the press to 5 questions a day is a scandal. Cutting off the funding of KAIROS is a scandal.
  • Spending less on foreign aid is a scandal.
  • Looking up to and admiring George Bush is a scandal
  • Pretending Canada weathered the global economic downturn because of something you did when it’s in fact the result of banking regulations that were put in place long before you got to Ottawa is a scandal.
  • Having such a one-sided view of the Middle East that it costs Canada a seat on the U.N. Security Council is a scandal.
  • Spending billions on jails instead of spending it on the true societal causes of crime is a scandal.
  • Letting your evangelical end-times beliefs form the basis of your foreign policy in the Middle East is a scandal…Getting a massage isn’t. Let’s use this bullshit attempt to smear Layton as a motivator to get out the vote, VOTE ABC and do it strategically.
