Modeling Journey

Reporter after reporter is asking Liberal spokespeople how the Liberal Party justifies causing the spending of another $300 million on an election so soon after the last one. Tory spokespeople have also joined in this chorus.

And so far the LPC has not given an answer that meets the "elevator test" one – one that takes 30 seconds and puts the case squarely.

The Cat suggests that the Liberal Party answer this question this way:

"We are seeking to replace the incompetent Conservative government with a competent Liberal government.

One of the reasons we are doing so is because we believe the Tories are mismanaging the finances of the country.

Election costs of $300 million are just over half of one percent (0.5%) of the Tory $50 billion budget deficit.

We believe a competent Liberal government will save Canadians far more than half a percent when we provide the proper management that the country needs in this time of economic crisis."

That's it.
