Wise words for Perfect PP

"You were given two ears and only one mouth. You should listen twice as much as you talk." My Grandmother told me this long time passing. Sage words I now pass on to Pierre Poilievre, the mighty mouth MP from Nepean Carleton.

Yesterday Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, in answering a reporter's question, stated that higher taxes were going to be needed to get Canada back to a balanced budget.

"Dastardly deed," spouted Perfect PP. "Iggy is the Anti-Christ," he continued, spittle flying from between his perfect baby teeth. "Over my cold dead body," he screamed in great pain. "You can't raise taxes during a recession," cried PP, blood pouring from scars on his hands and feet.

Oh, the horror of it all. PP is a saint sent to earth to protect us from life's detritus.

Oops, what's that? PP missed the rest of Ignatieff's answer? What ever did Iggy actually say?

"We will have to raise taxes, but not at the expense of hurting the recovery from this recession." He continued with, "An honest politician cannot exclude a tax hike as an option." He also stated, “I am not going to load a deficit onto your children or mine."

Oops, PP was being a dope! Where does he think the money will come from to balance future budgets. Will he just go and pick it off a tree?  It comes from taxpayers like you and me.

PP must be one of those dishonest politicians to whom Iggy referred.
