One more degree of separation from democratic rule

The puppet masters of the coalition are revealed:

CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife reported earlier Monday that a high-profile, four-person economic panel would guide a Liberal-NDP coalition government on finance matters.

The group would comprise Frank McKenna, Paul Martin, John Manley and Roy Romanow.

“This is a way to assure Canadians the economy would be managed properly,” Fife told CTV Newsnet.

The panel of “wise men” would help the new government navigate the current global economic turbulence, he said.

The list includes three Liberals and one New Democrat, though none currently hold elected office.

Well, Bob, one guy’s “wise men” is most other people’s “junta”.

At least he’s already in the proper mindset if he contemplates a career move to Al-Jazeera.

Fact-checking the Dion-Layton marriage

How long can this supposedly happy couple stay in the same House when the Dion side of the family has been ruthlessly tearing apart the credibility of their new kinfolk?

  • Liberals denounce Layton for claiming Grit corporate tax cuts weakened the economy
  • NDP lying about plans for taxing business, say Liberals
  • NDP costing of Liberal platform exaggerated: “If this is how the NDP counts and balances revenues and expenses, one must question the abilities of the NDP to budget and balance its own platform”

How can the Liberals give 25% of cabinet seats to people in whom they have 0% confidence in basic management of government?

When they get 67% of their money from the public dole and have a 100% disregard for the will of the Canadian electorate.
