In response to Yves Friscot's letter: “Budget out of touch” of Friday March 25, 2011
Although I do not believe that this is an overly productive budget I do believe that it is a starting point. The 4 million dollars for the cyclotron is something we could have used up here.
But as I read Yves Fricot’s letter I could find nothing about what his liberal party would do differently. He speaks of creating and supporting jobs as being essential for our communities.
My suggestion is to tell the Buchanan Group to pay the employees what they are owed. Then maybe they can afford to stay in this region until things recover instead of heading to other provinces for work.
He speaks about the proposed spending on prisons instead of crime prevention, yet his liberal government spent 2.5 billion and an additional 25-30 million per year on a gun registry that does nothing to prevent crime. In my opinion build the prisons and put the criminals away instead of imposing more laws on the public and making them potential criminals for simply owning a gun.
He speaks of the conservatives spending billions on fighter jets for our armed forces. These men and women are defending our country and performing peacekeeping duties around the world.
Our military has been under-funded for far too long; build the jets, we need to support our forces, especially with what is going on in the world right now.
The leader of the Liberal party was quoted in the paper, speaking in Quebec, that if elected he would solve the question of a additional $2.2-billion transfer payment to Quebec, and another 200 million for a sports venue.
This sounds like vote buying to me and how can he justify giving an extra 2.2 billion to a province that already benefits from the highest transfer payments of any other province, all of this while we are in a recession.
He speaks of bringing honesty and respect back to Ottawa. Has he convienientely forgotten about the sponsorship scandal. Maybe we should start with NWO.
Yves Fricot facilitated Buchanan's way of doing business, helping the company walk away with the employee's pensions, severance, and termination pay and only paying contractors and suppliers a fraction of what they were owed.
As well, the company defaulted on millions of dollars in stumpage fees to the province. This shows a total lack of respect for the people of this region.
So throughout his letter I tried to find something about what the liberal's would do differently; What is it Yves?
Raise taxes?
Cancel that extra $2.2 billion for Quebec?
I know one thing for sure; We will accomplish nothing in this country if we are having an election every two years. All Ignatieff has done is try to get into power at the expense of any chance of a stable economic recoverey.
In closing, let me give Yves Fricot an analogy.
You go to a job interview, walk in and break the interviewer’s legs, then you tell him: “If you give me the job, I'll drive you to the hospital to get help.”
Well Yves Fricot, you helped Buchanan break my financial legs, so you will not get my vote.
To Michael Ignatieff: Harvard is calling, please answer the call.
