My pal Brad Farquhar has a monumental task on his hands. He’s fighting the good fight against the Liberals and while his home province of Saskatchewan is virtually free of them, there remains one and it’s not exactly a backbencher: it’s Minister of Finance and Challenger frequent flyer, Ralph Goodale.

Since Brad’s taking on the finance minister, he’s been up on his research pointing out exactly why Liberal finance policy is hurting Canadians. Teaming up with Monte Solberg and Dean Allison, Brad is taking the Liberals to task for their assault on Income Trusts.

Brad outlines the studies, the background and the media coverage necessary to get anyone up to speed on the issue. Brad also provides some help to contact the 302 sitting MPs to urge them to act upon the issue. Let’s hope Brad takes this issue all the way to Ottawa himself.

Deputy Conservative leader, Peter MacKay rose in the House today to speak of the contradictory positions given by PM Paul Martin and his Deputy PM Anne McLellan. This contradiction was outlined in a post that I wrote yesterday.

Consider the following quotes:

“The Americans ask us to do things in terms of the border; I think there’s an obligation on their side to work with us to prevent gun-smuggling into Canada.” — Paul Martin, October 25th, 2005.

“First of all, we have no evidence there are more guns being smuggled into the country now than ever before,” Ms. McLellan said. “Sometimes people easily blame the United States for a smuggling of guns. That too is a simplistic response.” — Deputy PM Anne McLellan, Edmonton Journal, August 25th, 2005

“Regardless of what their domestic gun laws are state by state, they have taken for years a very, very tough line, one of the toughest in the world in relation to guns being smuggled into their country or out of their country.” — Deputy PM Anne McLellan, Edmonton Journal, August 25th, 2005
