Blaine Calkins Conservative
“The Liberal government uses high taxes and rules to hold businesses back. This forces companies to depend on government handouts so the Liberals can take credit for saving them. I believe this hurts our entire economy.”
“Madam Speaker, listening to the heckling from the other side, we get a sense of what is actually going on here. The issue is what I consider a mafia mentality from a Liberal government that does not let anything happen in the country. It blocks things with regulations and taxes people into oblivion because that makes people and businesses dependent on the government for an announcement where the Liberals get to stand up and say, “See how much we love the cultural sector.” They get to pick the winners and losers that way. I wonder if my colleague would agree that it is not just this sector that is run this way but virtually all sectors of our economy.”
