Stephane Dion's unpaid $2,000 lunch bill
Thursday, December 06, 2007 at 12:01 AM Comments: 8
Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion would like to be prime minister one day. If he wants the job, he needs to convince Canadians that, among other things, he can be trusted to manage the country's finances.
Liberals have a particular problem in that regard, given the baggage of the Sponsorship Scandal.
A note to Stephane Dion. If you want to be trusted with our money, show us you can manage something as simple as a lunch tab. Running up a $2,000 bill with portions running over 90 days past due is not a promising sign.
Hey, regular folks pay for their lunch. It ain't some sort of entitlement.

"Tax-payer group slams Tory spending
The Canadian Press
November 26, 2007 at 2:55 PM EST
Ottawa — A citizens' group says the Conservative government paid out $25 billion in grants, contributions and subsidies during its first fiscal year in office, with the two largest going to a Quebec-based aerospace company.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has compiled a list of the top 100 grants and contributions paid out between April 1, 2006, and last March 31.
The group says the 100 largest payments, doled out by 16 different departments and agencies, total $3.3 billion — much of it spent “questionably, inefficiently and, in some cases, outright irresponsibly.”
The group says the government's total grant-subsidy budget accounts for just over 11 cents of each tax dollar spent.
The two largest handouts went to Quebec-based Pratt and Whitney Canada, the first for $213 million and second for $137 million.
Other notable examples of what the taxpayers' group called “corporate welfare” include $47.5 million to Quebec's Mont Tremblant ski resort, $27 million for a soccer stadium in Toronto and $19.1 million for Alcan.
The group says $9 billion a year is funnelled to native bands “despite the lack of accountability to Canadian taxpayers.”
It points out that the auditor general is not allowed to scrutinize payments to aboriginal groups."
All kinds of stuff that if it were the liberals in power, you would be practically shitting yourself with glee for pages on your blog.
