The Editor,
The plot thickens and the mire gets deeper in the credibility of the Harper government. The moral compass of the Conservatives under Prime Minister Stephen Harper is in tatters.
If the general public had paid attention over the last seven or eight years, they could have observed the constant obfuscation.
Whenever questioned by members of Parliament or the media on how taxpayers' money was being spent, they were met with silence, evasion or personal smears.
From the beginning, Prime Minister Harper talked about transparency and accountability but there has been none. But our deficit went up, a $13-billion surplus disappeared, billions of expenditures on projects went wrong and $3.5 billion disappeared into the ether never to be found.
How can anyone believe the words of a prime minister who refused to come clean with the public on even minor issues? Now, as usual, he refuses to answer straight questions about the Duffy/Senate scandal and changes his stories almost daily.
It's time to oust these clowns as soon as we can.
