Next time Scott Brison tries to blame the Government for a breaking controversy, he might want to check with his own party to see if they supported the decision when it was made (credit John Ivison). This week he blamed Stephen Harper for appointing a civilian to lead the RCMP which is responsible for a so-called revolt of senior RCMP officers; yet when the appointment was made, the PM received strong bipartisan support from the opposition Liberals, even the NDP. Now Brison is saying that Harper created chaos by appointing a civilian, who was supposed to "shake things up" in the senior ranks which were widely viewed as flawed, if not corrupt. Everyone agreed that the RCMP was broken and needed to be fixed. These same senior officers currently "in revolt" were opposed to civilian leadership, much less one with the mission statement to clean up inefficiencies.
Is it a coincidence that people strongly opposed to a civilian being hired as their boss are now the same people revolting? The commish was hired to shake things up, not make friends. And Scotty Bryson jumped the gun with blanket condemnation of the Prime Minister before even checking to see the Liberal party's position when the appointment was made.
Huh! Well whaddaya know? A politician getting caught in the spin? Naw, not possible!
ReplyDeleteHe just has to throw that crap out there...those gullible enough to believe him is all that he is looking for...face it how many people who don't even know who their rep is in parliment will be the first to belive anything floating through the airwaves. The opposition doesn't have to speak the truth...just throw out something out there that sounds possible and it will be accepted as truth...checking is too much trouble and the believers lives are more important than seeking facts.
ReplyDeleteYou can't expect Liberals to be accountable for being hypocritical.
ReplyDeleteThey have taken both sides of issues for so long they have lost track on which side they are.
This S.O.P. for the Liberals.
You need to lower your expectations or standards when you compare Liberals to the Conservatives. They don't measure up.
They lie, cheat and steal at every opportunity. With the help of the CBC and Co. they can spin Bryson's remarks into a full fledged revolt against PMSH.
ReplyDeleteScumbags!!
Absolutely par for the course for the opportunist that Brison is.
ReplyDeleteI have to leave the Conservatives because they hates the gays, paraphrased, is how he explained his defection to the Liberals.
Maybe he thought he was on the winning team.
But he's on the wrong side of history.
He's just another Liberal.
And Liberals don't know right from wrong.
They want to sail off in all directions.
