“The stuff that Liberal said didn't mention Canadians, or food banks, or the hungry survey. He only talked about himself and his party and media questions. But his leader won't talk at all.”
What they said. What they meant.

The Conservatives moved a motion criticizing the government's economic record. They claimed Canada has the only economy in recession in the G7, the worst household debt, the worst housing costs, and the second highest unemployment. But most of the debate consisted of MPs speechifying about their own qualifications, bragging about their ridings, sparring over procedure, and accusing each other of lacking substance. Very little time was spent actually discussing and debating the specific economic issues raised in the motion.
“I want the Prime Minister to make a plan to fix the economy. The Prime Minister hasn't talked about the recession. The government should spend less. I want to get rid of Liberal policies. They tax too much and spend too much. That's bad for the economy. I want the government to be responsible with money.”
“I want the other politician to feel bad. I want him to think about children. Maybe that will make him agree with me. I say the government spends too much and that's bad. But I don't want to say how I would spend less.”
