You might think Lisa Raitt and her Cons might stop attacking the agreement to enhance the Canada Pension Plan now that a deal has been reached.
But no, Raitt is still on the offensive...
Now suggesting it's the work of Big Brother.
While Big Business is calling it the road to economic ruin.
I can only imagine the frenzied state the scary Con Lisa Raitt must be in right now. But you can be sure it isn't pretty.
And she is no doubt still howling at the moon, like her miserable leader Rona Ambrose.
But it won't do those ghastly Cons any good, because their desperate attempts to sabotage plans to enhance the CPP have gone down in flames.
As long as Stephen Harper was in power there was never any hope of enhancing the Canada Pension Plan.
Because he always claimed the economy was too fragile to afford it, he didn't like the idea of pensions, and believed that Canadians should save for their own retirement.
So I'm glad that now that he is gone, the federal government and the provinces will be meeting in Vancouver today to see what can be done to enhance the CPP.
But I'm not surprised that the Harper Party hasn't changed its position.
Well there he was in Poland yesterday, relentlessly pursuing the ethnic vote again, by portraying himself as the fearless leader of the Great War on Russia.
And the champion of freedom and democracy.
Even as the Senate rammed through his totalitarian anti-terror bill.
Which will kill OUR freedoms and turn us into a police state,
But at least on the Great War on Pensions front, Stephen Harper did suffer a serious setback.
You might think that Stephen Harper has done enough to hurt poor seniors. By making them wait until they are sixty-seven to receive Old Age Security payments.
And treating our veterans like dirt.
You might think that his Great Con Debate scam would have satiated his corrupt instincts.
But no, now he has ordered his dilapidated stooge Joe Oliver to flog a phony pension scam.
With just two days before the Ontario election, and still not having decided whether to vote for the NDP or the Liberals, I decided to check out the lawn signs on the island, which is part of Trinity-Spadina riding.
And the results were no surprise. The island is still mostly orange, with a touch of green. The only blue signs are the ones from the No Jets at the Toronto Island Airport campaign.
And between that and the hypnotic scent of the giant ORANGE poppies...
For a moment I thought I might be able to vote for the NDP, for sentimental reasons.
And get away with it.
Well I finally got to screen Stephen Harper's year end interview with Global TV, and it was one of the weirdest interviews I've ever seen.
And one of the most chilling.
For there was Harper sitting in what looked like a set from A Christmas Story.
But sounding like a character out of the Nightmare Before Christmas.
It's my nightmare vision of a Con jungle. A country full of seniors living in poverty and misery.
A country where the old and the poor have no present, and the young have no future.
A nightmare that became even more real today, when the Cons killed an NDP proposal to expand the Canada Pension Plan.
Even though a recent study showed that Canada is the only OECD country where seniors are getting getting poorer, and the government is doing less and less to help them.
And the only good thing I can see, is that some seniors are finally starting to fight back.
You might think that Jim Flaherty would be satisfied with ramming through his latest Trojan Horse budget.
His ghastly swollen beast stuffed to the gills with toxic waste.
But no. Now he's going after seniors and the Canada Pension Plan.
