The leader of the federal ndp took the federal Conservative government to task as he addressed delegates at the BC Federation of Labour convention.
Thomas Mulcair critcised the Harper governement for driving down wages in this country and viewing labour as a road block to corporate profit.
Mulcair also said Conservative MPs just echo words issued to them by the Prime Minister’s office referencing a Will Farrell movie to make his point.
“Fans of the movies have all seen Ron Burgundy – you know the news reader who reads whatever’s on the peice of paper without even knowing what’s written on it – Will Farrell’s character? That’s our Environment Minister Peter Kent – he reads whatever’s on his paper. He doesn’t even know what it means.”
He also accused the Tories of manufacturing a crisis over Employment Insurance and Old Age Security.
