Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“Conservatives only talk about bad economic news and blame Canada for it. They ignore good news, like 88,000 new jobs.”
“Mr. Speaker, these questions, written by the Leader of the Opposition, are not really convincing anyone. What is convincing people is this attitude coming from the Conservative benches that what is a headwind and a challenge for Canada ought to be blamed on Canada. The “blame Canada brigade”, as people are calling them, skips in here at any hint of bad news for the Canadian economy, but when we remind them about 88,000 new jobs, they go into hiding. Hooray for Canada.”
