Mr. Speaker, I have just come from the Reform youth convention. They wrote the top 10 reasons why the Liberal and Tory organizers are afraid of the Reform youth convention.
Number 10: They do not know how to deal with people who care about policy and not just power.
Number 9: Their idea of a young person is someone who should be seen and not heard.
Number 8: They are afraid of new ideas.
Number 7: Because they cannot handle four snack packers let alone 260.
Number 6: Because when young Reformers talk about future senators, they are talking about a hockey team not a bunch of bagged out, slack jawed party hacks parked in patronage heaven.
Number 5: Because Reform youth want to see a balanced budget that offers real hope, not a transparent attempt to buy their votes.
Number 4: Because when Liberals and Tories see a Reform youth convention, they can envision a parliament with 260 Reform members in it.
Number 3: Because the national Reform youth convention means a convention with young people from every region in every part of this great country.
Number 2: Because the PMO has not figured out yet how to pepper spray a convention.
And the number one reason why they are afraid of a Reform youth convention: Because a Reform youth convention kicks butt from coast to coast to coast.
