A statement in the House on November 27th by Mr. Jeff Watson (Essex, CPC): reads as follows

Mr. Speaker, recently Liberal Tom Axworthy, the man charged with leading Liberal Party renewal, revealed that the Liberals have been hiding a dirty little secret–get this everyone–that Liberals could not keep their promises to Canadians. That is like a flasher admitting to his victims that he is not wearing any briefs. No shock here.

Canadians figured out the Liberals back on January 23. It only took Mr. Axworthy 10 months and an impending Liberal convention to finally admit that Liberals are promise breakers. What does he propose the Liberal Party do? Make more promises of course.

Before they get caught up in their self-congratulatory lovefest and collective amnesia at their convention, let us remember what the Liberals will try desperately to forget this week. The Liberals promised to fix health care for a generation, and then did not. The Liberals promised to scrap the GST, and then did not. The Liberals promised to tear up NAFTA, and then did not. The Liberals promised a new era of ethics, Gomery. Then Canadians told them they did not.

It is no secret why Canadians kicked the Liberals to the opposition curb.

This is the new parliament that the CPoC promised Canadians if they were allowed to grasp the reigns of power?

1. it is a pointless statement (see point 2)
2. all political parties break campaign promises
3. does income trust ring any bells?

This is the same sort of thing we saw from the Liberal government, petty, pointless, self serving, stupidity in the House that accomplishes nothing.

How novel, low brow pots pointing fingers at the last set of kettles, the Conservatives promised change, where is it?
