Mike Harri's 'Common sense revolution' brought to Parliament Hill
It’s only fitting that Tony Clemet, Two Tier Tony a nick name for his public endorsement of a two-tier health system, bring a little ‘common sense’ to Harper’s government.I mean…isn’t it common sense to have a health minister who knows the pharmaceutical giants really well…if not owns stakes in them.
Accountability in Harper’s government means:
- Having the Conservative Member of Parliament from Parry Sound Muskoka refusing to sell his 25 per cent stake in Prudential Chem Inc., a Toronto-based company that sells pharmaceutically-active ingredients for use in medicines, despite that fact that as Heath Minister, his department regulates the drug approval process.
- Awarding a $25,000 sole-sourced contract from Health Minister Tony Clement to his buddy who just happens to be general manager of the Canadian International Pharmacists Association (CIPA), a key player in promoting on-line pharmaceutical sales - an issue that has the support of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives.
- Having a health minister who has ownership of a pharmaceutical company is like having a Defense Minister who used to be a lobbyist for a large firm who bids on Defense contracts. Next you’ll tell me Harper will have Ministers in his cabinet that weren’t event elected….accountability….

I blamed Two-Tier Tony for all of the bungling in the SARS episode and his two companion..Fric and Frac....one got moved..the other is still there...How can we put these nobodies in charge of such major departments and expect them to perform....How old is this Rona Ambrose....how can she have the experience to sort out the ins and out of this major crisis with climate change...as with terrible tony.. where does he get his knowhow...he doesn't have it....the only thing they are expert at is repeating rhetoric about how bad the liberals did...well...if the liberal were so bad ....how come we left them 12 billion to buy the next election with......I shake in my boots when I think of Clement handling the 'bird flu' God Forbid.
We've been living with this kind of crap in Alberta for 30 some years. That's why the federal conservative candidates out here used the slogan "Ottawa needs more Alberta".
