NDP Gets It’s Talking Points From the Taxpayers Federation
Canada’s main socialist party is now getting its talking points from an organization that attacks the Conservatives for being too big a spenders? Stranger things have happened, but David Christopherson, an MP from the Hamilton-Windsor area and the NDP democratic reform critic attacked the Harper government for its 5 Senate appointments today as a farce” to see “who got the Cash-for-Life lottery tickets this year.”
Now where have I heard that before? Try flipping to page 13 and 14 of The Taxpayer, the flagship publication of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). In the article on those pages, I researched and wrote about “Cash-For-Life” pensions that Senators receive for their democratic service to Canada, which at times can total more than $200,000 annually. In the very first sentence, a real “Cash-For-Life” example of the lottery is used for an unnamed man near Windsor.
I for one am pleased that an NDP MP from the Windsor-London-Hamilton corridor would be using what the CTF has to say in his talking-points as they regard the Senate. One can only hope that the NDP will also start reading what t CTF has to say about taxation and spending.

I think the NDP is an organization that is chock full of socialist idiots who can not let go of their nineteenth century class-centred beliefs. In this case, however, I think they have a more legitimate right than any other party to complain about the senate appointments. These people have long supported senate abolition and they are maintaining that stance. It’s a valid argument on their part, unlike the Liberals who spew their usual hypocrisy.
This guys so screwed up he can’t decide on which side to part his hair.
Did the Libs and Dippers honestly think Harper would select one of them for a Senate position?
Surely you jest!
