According to news reports today, the Liberals intend to run the next election campaign of the basis of their defence of Canadian values. The script that is now being tried out will claim that Liberals represent all that is decent about Canada while the Conservatives are "anti-Canadian." I sincerely hope this is true; I would love to see Martin and his minions trying to defend the following values which they made their own over the past decade:
• a contempt for our armed forces
• an inability to distinguish between the public purse and the Liberal Party slush-fund
• a cynical immigration policy that has thrown our borders open to terrorists
• an increasing contempt toward traditional values on matters of drugs, sex, religion and crime
This sort of campaign makes good sense only if the Liberals are preparing to be the junior partner in a minority government with the NDP. Roll on, election fever!
