Funny how the current deficit budget is now universally referred to as “The Conservative Deficit”, even after this current budget was forced upon us by the Liberals, NDPers and the bloc-heads after a mid-winter stand-off on the Governour General’s front stoop. As I recall, the Conservative’s Economic Update, brought forward in December, did not make us go into a deficit at all. It was after the three stooges reared their ugly heads and blackmailed the country, that the current deficit budget was tabled. In fact, the Libs and Dippers were crying foul that the $30B wasn’t enough.

So now it’s the “Conservative Deficit” eh? And as usual, Canadians just happily go along with it. After all, we Canadians like to hear what we want to hear and will go along with whomever says it at the time. Eventhough at another time he may say something completely different.

First they had Mr. Dithers, then they had The Dion-Witch Project, now they’re stuck with Mr. Flip-Flop. Those Libs just can’t get their act togther, can they?

EYEBROW ALERT

If you caught Iggy’s media scrum yesterday concerning allowing the six Newfoundland MPs to vote against the Liberal Party the budget, maybe you have noticed how Iggy’s eyebrows (you can’t miss ‘em: they’re right above his eyes) tend to go up when he says something he does not agree with. They are perched right over his eyes most of the time, and once in a while they’ll move upwards.

I’m going to keep my eye on them—as disturbing as that may sound—I think Iggy’s eyebrows are a tell-tale as to his true feelings. Some people have a tic, or a hand gesture, but I think Iggy’s eyebrows are the window to his soul. I think they are down when he’s speaking the truth, and they go up as he is straying away from the truth, be it a lie or something he has to do he does not agree with.

Yeah, I’ve got an eyebrow project and I will be issuing EYEBROW ALERTs in the future when necessary.

(Squ)Iggy’s been successful in his transition from Thinker to Listener to Stinker. Last year, the Libs were crying for stimulus packages, and saying “doing nothing” was not an option. Over Christmas, Harper was forced to adjust his budget, provide a stimulus package and do “something”, and now Iggy says $40B is too much. More stimulus, less stimulus. I mean, make up your mind!

Maybe Iggy should devote his time on learning how to properly get a car out of the ditch.

All Hail The President-Elect! He has surrounded Himself with an intellectual team other countries dare not dream of! In fact, according to Randall Denley, Ottawa Citizen columnist, Canada does not have what it takes–and never will–but perhaps Harper could look at Ignatieff, our Greatest Thinker, for some “thinking” inspiration. If “Determined Determination” is a sign of things to come, hold on to your hats folks, there will be some eye-poppin’ thinkin’ comin’ from that Hill!

The country is facing a recession, people of all stripes are cutting back on their expenses, some are losing money on their RRSPs, gauging (more like fleecing) at the pumps, people are losing jobs left and right, yet the Liberals, NDP and Bloc are against capping their salaries, cutting their expense accounts and want to hold on to their entitlements.  “We must work together to make this parliament work for the Canadian people” has changed to “I don’t want to give up my $1.95 per vote and a pay hike”. Thanks Jackie, Stephane and Gilles. Glad you’re working for us. Glad you’re chippin’ in.

Now it’s either another election with Mr. Money vs Mr. Broke, Mr. Poor and Mr. Stupid, or a coalition government between Mr. Am I Prime Minister now or Tuesday?, Mr. Kitchen Table and Mr. Separatist. Lovely.

These people live in such lala-land it is unbelievable.
