Yeah…now they complain

An NDP MP doesn’t like patronage appointments….
So he wants the government to revive a commission, made up of appointed members. To oversee the appointment of other folks, a commission that his party voted against when the Conservative government worked to start said commission?

Europe envious

Great. After ruining their own countries with disastrous entitlement programs they want to come here? Just what we need.

TorStar: Longshaw is adamant that her little barbecue kiddie party was co-opted by interlopers unknown to her. Police sources, however, say it’s not uncommon for organizers to disguise booze-infused “blockos’’ as children’s parties to avoid police shutting them down before they get started.

“It will always be like that,” Chretien told The Canadian Press. “They have a culture of grievance over it, not looking at the facts.”

Liberals telling people to get over it. Now, what does that remind me of.
