Like most Canadians, I have been fascinated by the public firestorm which was sparked upon Minister Flaherty's deliverance of the Conservative government's Economic Statement in the House of Commons on Thursday.
General disappointment has turned to outrage as Canadians realize that Prime Minister Harper is putting partisan politics ahead of sound public policy. Canadians expect, and deserve, better than this from the person who occupies the highest elected office in our great country.
Canada is facing a serious economic crisis and it's time to put Canadians' interests first.
