Tom Says: “I don’t care if Brian Did — or Didn’t…”

Did former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney get 300-thousand dollars he should not have received?

I don’t care if he did — and I don’t want Ottawa to get tied up in the details. 

It seems like in this country, once our members of parliament get into the House of Commons, they end up spending far too much of their time and effort trying to make the men and women on the other side of the floor look bad.

In doing so — they make themselves look bad.

When I go out to vote, I’m voting for the man or woman or the political party that’s going to make this country better to live in than their predecessors did. 

If the Brian Mulroney issue becomes the overriding concern among our 300-plus MP’s, then they aren’t taking care of the concerns of more than 30-million Canadians.

The 300-thousand dollar allegations have been levelled by a man who is sitting in jail waiting to be extradited to his native Germany for various, sundry and nefarious activities which he is alleged to have been involved in.

He doesn’t sound to me like the kind of guy who might supply me with information I could take to the bank.

At present, Karlheinz Schreiber is a desperate man — trying to say and do anything to prevent him from being sent home to face the music.

I’m not sure spending millions of tax paying dollars for high priced lawyers and washing what may be some dirty linen in public is the best way to spend my money.

Lets try and solve the problems of the homeless, shorten lineups for Canadians waiting for medical procedures. What about a good exit strategy for our troops in Afghanistan?  Let’s also come up with workable solutions for this country’s contribution to climate change.  Let’s also take another look at the reported surplus which the government is looking for ways to spend…

A further reduction in taxes is a novel suggestion and it just might work.

We all know how we feel about former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. 

Like all who preceded him and all who have followed him — he’s loved by some and detested by many.  A public inquiry, (in my view) would be a tremendous waste of your and my tax dollars.

The last thing our federal government needs is another way to waste tax payers money.

I’m Tom Young.
