Flaherty Channels Ford

 ...goes looking for the gravy train in Ottawa, seeking waste, fraud, and abuse. 

But here in T.O. we know how that worked out.  The only gravy turned out to be on Rob Ford's tie.  Watch the same thing play out on a national scale.

The federal CPC stopped the gravy train a long time ago. Just like with Robbie Rich, the gravy train was only stopped long enough to change drivers and passengers.

Of course the feds have now outgrown the train and have moved on to search and rescue helicopters.

You could back to The Common Sense Revolution. They had the same promises -- "As government, we will be aggressive about rooting out waste, abuse, health card fraud, mismanagement and duplication." (They also promised not to touch health care or education, but we all know how that went.) Heck, there are some of Mike Harris' boys (Clement, Flaherty, Baird) in key positions.

Here's another gem from the "Common Sense Revolution" :

"Consensus among Ontarians is that there is plenty of fat to be cut, and many ways that government can reduce its spending without affecting services."

As long as it's not a challenger jet, I'm sure they're fine. ;)
