Ed Broadbent has always belonged to a party I have never been able to support.

However, I cannot recall any time the Party I support (Liberal) or any other party questioned his sincerity, dedication and integrity.

Never have I heard, in my recollection, anyone whether publicly or in private discussion accuse him of the things that he has laid out in this commentary, let alone present the facts to support such accusations.

Ed Braodbent can stand up proudly as to how he has served our country over many years. Previously as a fierce competitor in the House of Commons and now as a Statesman for Canada. The NDP can also point to a proud History (despite my not agreeing with them all the time).

I say to you, Harper can not! And; the Conservative Party can not!

Now to add more support to Mr.Braodbent’s statements:

71,000 jobs lost in November, 66,000 in Ontario.

Now we know why Harper went to the Governor General yesterday as opposed to today or Monday!

The likelihood of this being a co-incidence is to me remote. Harper had to have know these facts before he went to advise the Governor General.

Harper has refused to discuss what was said.

So, we can only wonder if he advised her that he next day the job rates for November would be announced and be so strikingly brutal.

I would demand that he give an accurate and substantively complete outline of what was said, except I have no confidence in him to do so in a truthful manner.

What a sad commentary on the person who calls himself ‘Canada’s Prime Minister’.

God save us, God save Canada
