Dastardly!
The unbelievable, depraved depths to which the Conservative-led government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper will go, to entice Canadians to believe that they, not the Liberals, are the natural governing party of Canada. Everything begins and continues with them, the big "C", the Conservative Party of Canada. Their stealthy - let's face it, downright sneaky -brand of public relations has now revealed itself for the benighted plan that it truly is.
Imagine the chutzpah! By means appearing fair but ultimately foul, they have even emblazoned their logo on the Vancouver Olympics clothing line. How low can they stoop? Even the Canadian Olympic Committee has dirtied its hands, by approving this plan to advertise the Conservatives as world-champion material in the Olympics forum of sports excellence. Proving precisely how unsportsmanlike those Conservatives are.
The Liberals won't stand for this, nor should they. It hardly matters that the Conservative minister of state for sport claims any resemblance to the Conservative brand is purely incidental. Coincidental, that is. Who, us? "I can assure you that no one in the government of Canada was involved in any way, shape or form in the design of any of the Olympic clothing", said an abashed Gary Lunn, amazed that his government was found out.
But Liberal Hedy Fry of the positive-sighting-cross-burning-society certainly knows better: "I think the government should have said 'I think that this is too similar; people may think that there is a similarity. They may think we are trying to advertise, and therefore, we shouldn't do this. Let's find a different kind of logo', that is what they should have said". Imagine, those craven opportunists did not choose this honourable option!
Not to be outdone, NDPer Charlie Angus called it "cheap partisan politics" on the part of the Conservatives. (Wonder how he could recognize cheap partisan politics, when he sees it so blatantly hanging out there, baiting the opposition, waiting for the inevitable response.) But the Liberals and the NDP should be embracing this opportunity. It's serendipitous!
Think about it: the purrrfect scandal with which to bring down those dastardly Conservatives!
