On Monday we had Ian Rab and Myrna Driedger parroting the claims of the Winnipeg Scum that the government was beng unethical because they announced programmes and services for Manitobans.
Today we have Ian Rab and Team Hughie wannaba Scott Gillingham doing their Twitter sock puppet routine on behalf of Colin Craig of the Canadian alleged Taxpayers Federation.
Colin has an article in the Scum about how the Selinger government is spending their way to our doom because they’re spending $11.3 Billion against Revenue of $10.8 Billion.
Now we know that the old Hugh McFadyen was all over balancing the Budget on a year-over basis. We also know that Team Hughie has targetted Health, Police, Education and Community Services for cuts.
But, rather than reminding people that Hugh McFadyen would have to sack thousands of Nurses and Cops to make up for that shortfall, Colin goes after spending on Birds Hill Park and Ukranian Women.
Total savings there?
Let’s see: ~$22 Million on Bird’s Hill Park. What’s interesting is that, in the same paragraph that Colin calls the spend waste, he notes that Bird’s Hill Park , “is a hit with Manitobans.” What Colin dosen’t say is that these changes are planned over the next five years so that $22 Million is really about $4 Million, and could be even less.
And the total savings by denying those Ukranian Women their statue? About $100,00.
So then Colin, Ian, and Scott. Do prey-tell where you are going to get the other $495,900,000 from?
Maybe implement the HST that Colin wants Manitoba to implement?
Selinger has already said, no, no, no and NO! McFadyen…………..
Seriously. Hugh has his ads out there saying he wants to hire more nurses and makes no mention of how on earth he’s going to pay for flooding, more nurses and balance the Budget.
Just where would Hugh get the money?
