Via They Call Me “Mr Sinister” is the mother of all hypocrisies from PMS.

Now:

-”This is not what Canadians voted for, it is not what Canadians want . . . I call upon the opposition to stop stalling and watering down legislation and do as they promised they would do in the election: pass the legislation and get tough on crime in this country.” - Oct. 27.

“My challenge to the opposition is to stop playing the games and just get on with enacting the legislation that we were mandated to pass.” - Oct. 27.

Then:

-”It’s not the responsibility of the Official Opposition to support the entire program of the government. Two-thirds of Canadians did not vote for this government. The Liberal party can’t expect to walk in and simply propose its own program that only one-third of Canadians supported and expect that everybody’s going to vote for it.” - Oct. 5, 2004.

-”I will always bear in mind that the people express their wishes as much through the opposition as through the government.” - Oct. 6, 2004.

-”It is the Parliament that’s supposed to run the country, not just the largest party and the single leader of that party.” - Sept. 10, 2004.
