Watching the junkyard

A watchdog is an animal which is trained to watch over something and alert the owners when something is amiss. A budgetary watchdog is a person trained to watch over the budgets and financial statements released by the government and, should something be amiss, alert its owner - the TAXPAYERS OF CANADA.

This Con government has been nothing if not consistent. They have lied about their advertising expenses during the election; they have lied to Canadian about their intent to fold the gun registry; the have blocked committee work (and then blamed the delays on the opposition) and they have delayed their own legislation all the while blaming the Senate for the delays. They even called an election for no reason then blamed the opposition for bills that were dropped due to their election.

Now they are telling the budget watchdog, who is supposed to protect the wallets of Canadians to sit down and shut up. The Auditor General just released a statement saying that she is disappointed that the government will not even provide broad stokes information on who will get the $3 billion slush fund they have set and for what?

The Con government is corrupt. It serves itself and not Canadians. It is passed its shelf life and should resign in disgrace and waddle on back to whence it came.
