Jean-Paul Savoie Gives Lord the Nod.
Personally I thought Kedgwick Mayor (and former jr liberal minister) Jean-Paul Savoie's explanation about why he's supporting the Tories was pretty weak. I have never bought the argument that it makes one iota of difference to have parties of the same stripe at both federal and provincial levels. C’mon people lets be truthful here. What the hell has Harper done for NB since he’s been in power, that wouldn’t have got done anyway??? Oh wait there was the “bus fare” money that Saint John got towards Harbour cleanup.....Can't forget that.
But really, we've heard that weak, tired argument before.......and has it ever really materialized??? Nope.
Quote By Savoie from CBC:
Having a Conservative government in Ottawa and having a Conservative government in New Brunswick [will help]," he said. "If we've got our plan, and we convince the politicians they should work on the files of the region, then maybe we got a chance to make a difference."
Does he really believe this??!! LMAO
Obviously he finds himself more aligned politically with Lord’s conservatives, than the Liberals....fine. But we’ll be better off because of Conservative governments at both levels??? give me a break.
Sheesh!
