- Ah yes, the Gomery Commission. Liberal
corruption. Time for the Liberals to go? It might be, if there was an
alternative. But since December 2003 we have been left with only one national choice:
Liberals in office, even though the players may change now and again.
When the Canadian Alliance appropriated the brand name of the Progressive
Conservatives, Canada became a one-party state in practice, perhaps for a generation,
even though Jack Layton and the NDP might like to think otherwise. "Uniting-the-Right" really meant removing the real Tories from the ballot
and leaving the anti-Confederation, anti-Canada party of Preston Manning,
Stockwell Day, and Stephen Harper to dream idly of a "breakthrough
in Ontario" just as it has been doing
since 1993.
As for Mr. Layton, well, he has the about same chance of forming a government
as Mr. Harper, and it is the hubris of such scheming politicians that has
brought us to where we are and that may produce an early, pointless, election.
Meantime, Mr. Martin must be encouraged to do the right thing while we wait
for the return of the real Tories and a real, national, Canadian alternative.
Then it will be time for the Liberals to go.
