Madam Speaker, what I would like to point out to the member is that this tick is very dangerous. If there are enough of those ticks they will not just keep on sucking that red blood, that Liberal blood as we would say, in the tax system, they will kill the animal or the person. The worst of it is that the tick is not that bad. The pain is not that bad. But we have the darn mosquito that continually sucks that red blood. It continually acts like a tax collector. The more it has, the more it wants. It becomes habitual.
When there are little ponds sitting around that are kind of stale that seems to really attract those suckers. It seems to be what also attracts the Liberals: “If we can find an elephant or some industry that we can keep sucking, let us do it”. When there is a bankruptcy, the Liberals' philosophy is that it will create another job. Their philosophy is that some other sucker will come along.
It does not seem to be working too well because the provincial Liberal governments have been falling by the wayside like the mosquitoes and ticks when we start swapping them left and right. That is what is going to happen in the political field as far as the federal Liberals and politics are concerned. It happened to the Conservatives who invented the GST. Now the Liberals are trying to take credit for inventing it. I do not know what the deal is here but I imagine they are hoping that will give some credence to the Conservatives with their philosophy and hope that maybe some day they can swap some seats again. However, I am afraid it is getting late in the day and these tax suckers, these mosquitoes, will finally kill themselves.
