(I)t's rich to hear Mr. Harper denigrate the Liberals for demanding more accountability from his government over a $3-billion stimulus spending fund that his own finance minister admitted would pose the risk of tax dollars going astray. The Liberals are still paying a heavy political price for shoddy accountability provisions that led to gobs of taxpayer cash misspent in trying to tackle an emergency.
Mr. Harper, who assumed power on the strength of his commitment to transparent governance, surely understands that his feigned outrage at the Liberal demand for accountability on the $3 billion fund comes across as patently absurd, but is seemingly unable to help himself when it comes to the partisan sniping.
All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.
