			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-781" title="ChrisD" src="http://fildebrandt.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ChrisD.jpg" alt="ChrisD" width="156" height="252" />Canada&#8217;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&#8221; to see &#8220;who got the Cash-for-Life lottery tickets this year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now where have I heard that before?  Try flipping to <a href="http://fildebrandt.ca/2010/01/published-in-the-taxpayer-%E2%80%9Ccash-for-life%E2%80%9D-vs-retirement-in-the-senate/" target="_blank">page 13 and 14 of <em>The Taxpayer</em></a>, the flagship publication of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). In the article on those pages, I researched and wrote about &#8220;Cash-For-Life&#8221; 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 <em>real </em>&#8220;Cash-For-Life&#8221; example of the lottery is used for an unnamed man near Windsor.</p>
<p>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.</p>
