In my latest Loonie Politics column I deplore the modern habit of judging budgets by how much boodle we personally pocketed rather than how well or poorly it safeguarded the national finances, as if our own narrow self-interest were self-evidently the national interest.
On Juno News with Kris Sims I denounce the mendacious and feckless extravagance of the Carney Liberals’ budget.
In my latest National Post column I say too many people focus on federal budget minutiae when the big picture is fatuous, deceitful and dangerous Liberal lack of fiscal discipline.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say Canadians have prepared for the government to borrow itself and us into insolvency by borrowing to the brink of bankruptcy themselves, while electing politicians as insouciant about debt as they are.
“I’m constantly amazed that anybody cares what I do.”
U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul H. O’Neill as “Quote of the Day” in New York Times July 21, 2002
In my latest Loonie Politics column I describe Mark Carney’s chronic jetting about blabbing to his fellow Davos Man sophisticates instead of sitting at his desk making hard choices as proof that he really believes words are deeds, especially fancy abstract ones. And as brazenly hypocritical on the dreaded “carbon pollution”.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say for the Carney administration to resort to transparent budget trickery instead of reining in overspending is a disastrously self-defeating strategy even in PR terms.
In my latest Epoch Times column I ask what we, the voters, would like them, the politicians, to do when they think we’re wrong on an issue, pander or debate, because we probably will get what we wish for.
