On the other side of the debate

Just a response to Sean Moore from Gravenhurst.

First, what they say about opinions and a certain body part; usually you have to excuse yourself when each sound off.

What I see as some of the Conservatives’ pluses are that not like another nameless party, they actually followed through with a two per cent reduction in the GST, not a promise at election time to scrap it altogether and then do nothing.

Trying to scrap the worthless and unneeded long gun registry that was sold that it would only cost $2 million, but ballooned to $2 billion-plus, they haven’t lost one billion dollars and shrugged their shoulders and said it was a boondoggle and went on with business as if taxpayers’ money wasn’t worth a second look.

The sponsorship scandal; say no more.

Putting in new crime bills to address consensual sex with children and accountability to criminals; now if they could stay in power with hopefully a majority government they could take care of the revolving-door justice system that has put thugs back on the street on bail to commit and recommit crimes. Then excuse me and my opinion, but yes I’m a stupid Conservative.
