Since Paul Martin sold out to the NDP and their union masters, I’ve been thinking of ways that the Conservative Party can craft their message for the upcoming campaign.

Remember the days post-merger that Conservatives were pasted with those labels such as “Conservative-Alliance”, and “those members opposite in the ‘Reform-Conservatives'”? In fact, it still happens to this day.

But now we can play the same game with the Liberals. The Conservative Party of Canada, its members, strategists, and members should now refer to the Liberal government as the left-wing Liberal government, the NDP-Liberals, the Worker’s Liberal Party etc.

Canadians should not be made to think that this radical shift on the political spectrum is nothing to worry about. There are profound negative consequences to a left-wing government in this country.

There are many centrist voters that were abandoned when the Liberal party shifted to the left. Let’s win those votes by offering Canadians a centre-right government-in-waiting as the do nothing and say anything leftist Liberals sell out any principle to stay in power.

Will it be YOUR job that will lost in that $4.6 Billion business tax relief flip-flop?

Is this country going to lose fiscal sanity to the NDP-Liberals?

Are provinces going to go from fiscal imbalance to fiscal FUBAR under this new left-wing coalition?

and he names names… including Paul Martin.

In 2000, Martin exerted political interference in order to secure a contract for a Liberal friendly firm…

“[The Sponsorship Program] was 150 per cent politically driven”

— Chuck Guité

In one case, BCP fell short in its bid for a $60 million Tourism Canada contract. The contract went to another ad firm, Vickers and Benson. But Guité said the decision was quickly overturned after the Prime Minister’s Office got a call from Yves Gougoux, the head of BCP.

“Yves Gougoux from BCP went ballistic and phoned the PMO and they changed it. Is that political influence?” asked Fournier.

“I think so,” Guité answered.

We’ve known about this one for a few weeks, but today it became official. Peter Kent, former anchor of the national news on CBC, and former Global television journalist, announced his candidacy for the next federal election for the Conservative Party of Canada for the riding of St. Paul’s.

“Paul Martin’s diminished moral authority at home is diminishing this country’s moral authority abroad, which has economic ramifications as Canada’s reputation slips deeper into international disrepute. The Prime Minister’s recent announcements are largely cut-and-paste reiterations of empty promises from last year’s campaign, and repackaged announcements made years ago. Other Martin announcements, like the pledge to re-unite immigrant families, should have been a priority when he first became Prime Minister, yet he waits until times are desperate for his party to even consider this important issue. Another year in limbo with a government that sees power as an end, rather than a means, is unacceptable. Canada needs new and competent government now.” — Peter Kent, Conservative Party of Canada candidate for St. Paul’s

Welcome aboard to Peter Kent! As the Liberals’ hold on power continues to erode, the Conservatives keep signing up star candidates. Things are looking good for the party.
