At one level the current parliamentary furor is partisan politics at its worst. Stephen Harper is taking advantage of the scandal to boost the fortunes of the Conservatives while Paul Martin clings to power by promoting a budget not of the Liberals own making. These theatrics in Ottawa are diverting our attention away from how public programs and services are being undermined.
CCPA not only does first-rate research; it also connects with the real world by putting powerful information in the hands of advocacy groups and by presenting intelligent, progressive ideas in the media. It is a BC jewel and I urge everyone to support it.
