On privileged communications

If Canada's current governing party wants to tell us that "(serving) as a Minister in...government" or "(exercising) real, political power" makes a person into an elitist, to the point where neither he nor his descendants could possibly understand the plight of typical (or dare we say "real") Canadians...

Well, who are we to doubt such a significant admission against interest?

So you heard the Cons. Stop listening to anything the privileged few now holding power have to say.

Update: Though in fairness, the Cons' attack does focus more on wealth than power. So I'm sure we'll see them run far, far away from the likes of, say, Larry Smith any second now on the basis that he's utterly clueless about the reality facing most Canadians.
