Mr. Speaker, the Liberal election campaign has truly begun. The little guy from Shawinigan is jetting off to Washington for his pre-writ Kodak tour.
Maybe the Prime Minister thinks he can brush up his sagging image by posing hand in hand with Mr. Clinton. While he is at it, why not a golf game? With the President on the injury list, this could be the Prime Minister's best chance to win something in 1997.
Canadian people are smart enough to know what this trip is really about. When the Prime Minister does not create jobs, when he cuts health care and keeps taxes high, he cannot simply fix his record by posing for a picture and taking a few divots with the President.
The Tories tried it in the past and it did not work for them. Now the Liberals are trying it again but it will not work either. At least
we know that the Liberals and Tories are one and the same. The only difference is that Mulroney preferred fishing over golf.
The Prime Minister should get ready for that Kodak moment and say cheese.
