Paul Martin will lie and lie--huffing and puffing fake concern about. . . well, just about everything--all to cling to power. He dishonours the office of PM. It may be one thing for the minions to flout the truth; it should be quite another for the leader of the country to do it.

Liberals target Nfld. Tory MPs Loyola Hearn and Norman Doyle Dene Moore, May 13, 05

[. . . . ] "And the future of that budget really is in the hands of Loyola Hearn and Norman Doyle," the prime minister said after a brief ceremony attended by Premier Danny Williams.

"Depending on how they vote will (decide) whether, in fact, the budget succeeds or not. So the Atlantic accords are in their hands and I really hope they do the right thing."

Hearn (Conservative) said if the prime minister was concerned about giving the province what it wants, then the federal Liberals should have voted in favour of a Conservative motion Friday that would have separated the offshore accord from the budget.

"This has nothing to do with the Atlantic Accord," Hearn said from Ottawa. "This is about trying to save the skin of the Liberal government."

Stephen Harper will deliver on his commitment to the Atlantic Accord." [MP Peter MacKay]
