Tax Havens Gone! That Is Just Too Funny!

Okay, I know everyone is japping about the budget was too conservatives, or not conservative enough, but what had me and my office mate laughing out loud, was they ended tax havens.

Yup, you won't see it in the media, no-one will know about it's implications, so allow me to enlighten you, if I may.

Martin also came under fire from former Progressive Conservative leader Joe Clark, who charged that the former finance minister was in direct conflict of interest when he did not close Canadian tax loopholes for firms like CSL that do business in Barbados. Barbados is a tax haven for foreign companies where they can avoid paying their country's taxes and wages. Some of CSL's subsidiaries are registered in Barbados and pay almost no tax on their profits.

So, this budget is priceless for no other reason than the Conservatives, with straight faces I might add, did away with the tax haven used by exPM Martin, you know, the one he would not close, for unknown reasons. So, exPM Martin and his company now finally will get to pay taxes here in Canada. If they would also stop dumping sewage into the Great Lakes, and smuggling cocaine into the country, I'd be happy!

How the Liberals get away with that garbage, and the Conservatives can't even make an honest mistake, like Gordon O'Connor, who is protecting some civil servants who gave him bad information about a liberal agreement, by apologizing to Parliament, is totally beyond me, because honestly, I think liberalism is a mental illness.

Thank goodness we no longer have a millionaire, cocaine supporting, oil dumping PM.

Concerning minister O'Connor, "honest mistakes" like that shouldn't happen. O'Connor should know about this stuff. He is, afterall, the Defense Minister. And it's not as if it was difficult for O'Connor to find the truth, since the Red Cross' website explicitly contradicts what O'Connor had been saying. So if O'Connor was mistaken then he is incompetent. If, on the other hand, O'Connor is not such a dummy, he was being dishonest. Either way a resignation might be in order.

Dear Kevin, when the Liberals release the names of the Quebec Liberals that got our stolen money, when they apologize to Canadians for their theft of our money, when they all resign because of the outright theft of our money, maybe then Liberals can ask for a Conservative Minister to resign, until then, Liberals look like fools every time they try to make Conservatives into their image. Take a hint, just because the Liberals are liers and thiefs, doesn't mean that Conservative are, but keep trying to make a point over nothing. It must suck to be Liberal these days!
