Canada Free Press: Time to disunite the right
By Arthur Weinreb Tuesday, February 10, 2009

Many Canadian small “c” conservatives are unhappy with the budget that Stephen Harper tabled two weeks ago. There certainly was very little “conservative” about it.

Joining the worldwide panic over the market and economic meltdown the budget calls for Canada to go into deficit in the amount of $85 billion for the next two years. Real conservatives believe that the markets should be left to sort the economy out and that the current problem will not be solved by simply throwing money at it. It is of course trendy to say that this is the worst of times since the Great Depression although the current situation pales in comparison to the recession of the 1980s when interest rates and unemployment were both in double digits.

(blah, blah, blah...)

I'm posting not so much for the content, but for the (to me) surprising source of the content. I wanted to read Mr. Weinreb's archived articles to see if this is a new point of view for him, but the links lead absolutely nowhere.

Not too surprising, I guess, if the sloppy writing--from CFP's Associate Editor, no less--is any indication. If you like to play Spot the Bad Grammar, you'll have a lot of fun with this article.
