Martin attacks Conservative leader on 'values'

Excerpts from CTV.ca News:
A rebuttal:

"Since I've become the prime minister, I have stared across the floor at one party -- the Bloc -- that wants to divide our remarkable country,"

He also looks at the responsible party every time he looks in the mirror.

"And at another, the Conservatives, whose leader and whose members seem chronically unhappy and for whom pessimism has become the default approach to seemingly every issue,"

When handed scandal after scandal, lie after lie and mismanagement abound..Why on earth would anyone looking at the liberals be anything but unhappy and pessimistic?

"Mr. Harper and I differ on child care and gun crimes, we differ on medicare, on tax cuts and foreign affairs. We differ on issues right across the full spectrum of policy,"

Can't Argue on this one. The major difference in all aspect between Harper and Martin is for Martin it is all about what is in it for him? While Harper actually has the interests of all Canadians in mind.

"I believe that in the real world, you cannot cut a cheque for $25 and call it a child-care strategy," Martin said.

"It's not a strategy and it's not a solution. It does little to help parents with children in child care and it does nothing to help those who have trouble finding quality, affordable care for their children."

May I ask what exactly "your" strategy does for stay at home parents, rural parents and those who choose not to use your wonderful "Institutionalized child care Mr. Martin? And since when do you know anything about anyone "living in the real world"?

I would love to see you sir live in the "real world" making a "real wage" doing "real work" for just one month... Bet you can't do it... Especially not on a budget of say... $2500 a month... Welcome to the "real world"...

"Think about it this way: What if decades ago, Tommy Douglas and my father and Lester Pearson had considered the idea of medicare and then said, 'Forget it, let's just give people $25 a week?'"

Ahhh so naive... What you fail to see Paul is that they were looking to the future.... Not at the past.... They were innovative... Maybe you should try it some time... When one continues to do the same thing over and over expecting a different result they are well... You know how the rest goes... Mr. Harper has plans, plans for today, tomorrow and the future. He like your father is innovative and looking for better ways rather than repeating the same mistake over and over.

"Whether Canada ends up as one national government, or two national governments, or several national governments or some other kind of arrangement is, quite frankly, secondary in my opinion," Martin quoted Harper as saying.

Yes this is a fundamental difference Paul, you as usual focus on the past a speach made ten years ago. Mr. Harper has moved on and looks to the future. You Paul, are of the old guard that has lost it's way in the darkness. Stephen is of a new guard that will guide us once again into the light. Returning this country back to its greatness and give it back its respect around the world we once had.

"Well, it's never been secondary in my opinion. It's never been secondary to the values or the beliefs of most Canadians. This is something that most of us feel at the very core of our being,"

Secondary... Of course it was not secondary to your party Paul. It has been your party's priority for over 12 years. Unfortunately your party has done nothing but make the separation sentiments in Quebec ever worse. Your party's plan has failed the people of Quebec and now doing the very same to the west.

I am glad you made it clear that it is the values of "most Canadians" as we know it is not the values of your party. Your party's actions speak very much of their "values". Those values are not consistent with "Canadian values". We Canadians do not value corruption, lies and especially not failure. Your party has failed the "Canadian Value" test Paul.
