Stephen Harper is eager to work with me!*
I got a letter from the Prime Minister today. The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, PM, thanked me for the work I've done since the new government took office in February. He's also eager to work with me on making sure his baby, the Federal Accountability Act, ensures that Canadians get "the government they expect and deserve".
Well, Steve, I hate to break it to you, but I think that an awful lot of Canadians were expecting a government they could trust, and that they deserve one that doesn't insist on using the back door to escape the House of Commons. (And sadly, that is not a euphemism. The Rt. Hon. PM actively avoids media scrums after sessions in the House and after caucus meetings.) I'd be more than willing, as both a tax payer and a public servant, to help them achieve that goal. Which is why I will continue to not vote for the New Conservative Party (or any other name you decide to call yourselves when the going starts getting tough.... and given the course you're set on so far, the waters are already looking pretty rough).
*as stated in a memo sent yesterday to every member of the Federal Public Service of Canada on Steve's behalf.
