PM 'Misleading' Canadian Public on Atlantic Accord, Levant: Grits will sell Anything, Research Firms That Work for Gov.

Paul Martin blamed the Conservatives for creating a negative tone -- Martin says Atlantic Accords will die [unless everyone votes Liberal to keep the corruption going, I would guess] from this article, "PM calls on Harper to resume respectful dialogue", CTV.ca News Staff, May 16, 05

Martin . . . saying that many elements of the bill would otherwise die, including the Atlantic Accords.

"What guarantee do the Canadian people have that the prime minister will respect the vote in the House in the future?" Conservative Deputy Leader Peter MacKay asked during question period later Monday. [. . . . ]

What Paul Martin said is simply not true, as Stephen Harper has told Canadians. Harper has said there would be an Atlantic Accord. Frankly, Harper has a stellar record on his words actually meaning something, compared to Paul Martin, Jean Chretien, and a few other government characters -- not all, of course.

Paul has misspoken himself . . . again.
