More Proof that Liberals Like To Waste Taxpayers' Money and Time

Three things this week that floored me...
1) Two Toronto councillors, Rob Ford and Doug Holiday, have consistently shown $0 balances in their expense accounts. They both pay for all of their expenses out of their own pocket, since both of them have said there's no need to spend taxpayer money and they are well enough off that they can afford to do that. They also get re-elected every election, so obviously their constitutents want them there. Yet there are liberal politicians who are calling for a taxpayer funded investigation into why they choose not to expense stuff to the taxpayers. I heard an interview with Ford and he said that he just gets better deals on printing, etc. from companies and finds efficiencies (ie. he will call a constituent by phone rather than send out a letter). He takes advantage of any freebies he gets. Why is it that liberals need to investigate these two smart and cost-conscious politicians? I know why - because the mostly liberal Toronto council like wasting taxpayer money on frivilous expenses and these two folks make them look bad, due to Ford and Holiday's fiscal responsibility. Good for these two, I say! They are two of the good ones!
2) This whole Shane Doan thing - if you don't know what I'm talking about, Doan (captain of Team Canada at the current world hockey championships) was alleged, by a liberal MP, of course, of making an ethnic slur towards French-Canadians. The NHL did its own internal investigation into the matter a year or two ago and found Doan did not say anything negative. Doan's teammates staunchly defend him. A frustrated player in the game in question also backs Doan, that while he made a sarcastic remark, it was not ethnically insensitive or culturally offensive. The NHL officials indicate that the slur was said, but not by Doan. Even Prime Minister Harper has sided with Doan after looking at all the facts. So what's the problem here? Why is the liberal government now involved in calling a parliamentary investigation, and wasting taxpayer money...again? Doan is a born-again Christian, is considered a character player on and off the ice - his fellow hockey players insist that he would never say such a thing. I guess it's a big deal since he's Canada's captain, but my goodness, can the Liberals simply find something else that is a little bit more ridiculous into which they can poke their heads? Such as this...
3) Dalton McGuinty (Premier of Ontario) is backing this new "Flick Off" campaign, to conserve electricity (the whole premise of which totally baffles me, but more on ridiculous energy conservation demands later). If you haven't seen it, the logo for "Flick off has...um...the letter "L" and "I" very close together, and the letter L's font is quite rounded, making the "L" and the "I" look like a "U". And they are pushing this for the kids and younger people to conserve energy. Nice job, Dalton.
