Mr. Speaker, as the ultimate test of who he is as a leader, the head of the NDP will soon be forced to vote on his own words. Does he mean what he said or is he a complete phony?
The leader said just before a recent by-election, “The fact is, the Liberals are too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people.” I may not agree with that Maserati Marxist on much, but I do agree with him on that. The question now is whether he agrees with himself, because he is the one keeping the Prime Minister in power.
Despite saying he ripped up the coalition agreement and even flip-flopping on his support for the carbon tax, despite voting for it 24 times, it is hard not to believe that this is not simply a self-serving ploy for him to qualify for his pension, while he continues to give confidence to the Liberals.
The question is simple. Will the leader of the NDP support Canadians, or is he only in it for his pension?
