Conservative MP refers to Unemployed as "No Good Bastards"

When is an apology not good enough? When it is insincere and when what the person really thinks has already been spoken. Nothing would please me more then seeing Conservative MP Keddy turfed from office and lose that cushy MP salary. The statement that the unemployed are "No Good Bastards" is unbecoming of someone who is going to cash in on gold plated pension plan for a few short years on the Conservative government dole.

These comments go inline with the thinking of Conservative MP, Human Resource Minister Diane Finley who believes that EI is lucrative. There is a time when those disconnected from the real world need a dose of reality. In this case, its the Conservative MPs. Diane Finley need not worry, her husband, a Conservative insider landed a cushy patronage appointment to the Senate and a big salary, a job for the rest of his life, and another gold plated pension plan. He is likely the guy behind those Conservative propoganda flyers put out in Phil McColemans name, paid for by the Canadian Taxpayer. Those 13% newly unemployed in Brant under Mr McColemans watch pay taxes and paid into EI. They too have been slurred by this Conservative MPs comments.

Thank your fellow Conservative MPs and Conservative Minister for publicly treating people like dirt.... those very people thrown out of work by Conservative governments sellout/oneside trade deals, weak economic policy and the inability to understand the engine that drives the Canadian Economy. This Conservative government in 2 short years diverted $8 Billion in EI surpluses away from the unemployed and gave the money to their pet projects and only under duress decided to put back a significantly smaller 900 Million over a 3 year period.

I wonder who 900,000 newly unemployed in 2009 consider to be the "No good Bastards"

Shame.
