From a Brandon Sun editorial:

How is the same party that blew more than $4 billion on Jack Layton’s pet projects just to stay in power now talking about offering Canadians major tax cuts?

Handy term, “pet projects”. It conjures up images of pork-barrelling, self-indulgent frivolity. And what are those little throwaway items the Brandon Sun’s editorial writers deride?

A few paragraphs later, they tell you: “housing, post-secondary education and the environment.”

That leaves out half a billion dollars in foreign aid, and $100 million to protect workers’ earnings from employer bankruptcies, but it gives you a sense of the NDP’s priorities.

Clearly Jack Layton’s NDP is no better than Monty Python’s Hell’s Grannies:

Pension day’s the worst – they go mad. As soon as they get their hands on their money they blow it all on milk, bread, tea, tin of meat for the cat.
