Internationally under a Socialist-Separatist coalition, I fear Canada will return to solving foreign affairs issues by offering lip service and tokenism. During a global economic crisis, Canada needs leadership. The principled leadership demonstrated over the past three years by this government and this Prime Minister is not likely to be emulated by the current band of political opportunists.
Under Stephen Harper’s leadership, our government was ahead of the curve in anticipating the global economic slowdown. We are injecting billions in stimulus through tax cuts, investments in roads, bridges and infrastructure, and we have made decisive moves to protect the banking system.
While we have been working on the economy, the opposition has been working on a backroom deal to overturn the results of the last election without seeking the consent of voters.
They want to take power, not earn it.
Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion was unequivocal during the recent election that the NDP is “economically-damaging”, and their policies would have horrific consequences for Canadians. He campaigned explicitly against a coalition.
The Liberal Party and its leader, Stephane Dion were rejected by voters less than 2 months ago. After receiving its lowest share of the popular vote since Confederation, the Liberal Party does not have a mandate to lead a government. They don’t have a mandate for a coalition with the NDP. Their Socialist-Separatist-drive
This is clearly unacceptable for a modern democracy.
Canada’s government should be decided by Canadians.
Not backroom deals.
It should be your choice.
Not theirs.
It’s time to Stand up for Canada!
Please join me on Saturday December 6 from noon-2pm at Queen’s Park in Toronto as democracy-loving Canadians from coast-to-coast gather to support democracy, not political games in this time of crisis.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Peter Kent, P.C., M.P.
