Burn Your PC Membership Card: PCs Give Up Fighting for Tax Cuts
March 27, 2008 by Paul McKeever
The Ottawa Citizen’s Lee Greenberg today reports that Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives won’t be fighting for tax cuts. Party leader John Tory lacking a seat in the legislature, acting Opposition leader Bob Runciman had this to say:
The reality of the situation is that most of the stakeholders seemed to have rolled over on this, even the ones who were complaining loudly prior to the budget — whether the Canadian Manufacturers (and Exporters), the (Ontario) Chamber of Commerce…
…What’s the point of continuing on this, especially when the people who are most impacted have sort of waved the white flag?
Subtext: the Progressive Conservative party follows the polls, not principles. And, even then, it really only polls interest groups, not individuals: if the Chamber of Commerce doesn’t want tax cuts, but you do, too bad.
Now, for those wondering what to do with their Progressive Conservative membership card, a helpful hint. For those with more flair, here’s another way. (And, please, if you do either, video it and put it on youtube).
P.S.: Freedom Party memberships are $10. Just sign an application and send it in with your $10 and, voila, you’re a member.
1) The “application” link goes to a youtube video, not the membership application.
2) The freedom party site seems to be down.
Update: the freedom party site is now back up.
Thanks for the heads up Raman. The link to the Application should now be correct.
