Editor:
Political opposition is again tested with suggestions that Tamil migrants may be on their way. The opposition parties bravely ride their moral high horses in the defense of the ideals of our immigration and refugee system. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives are shielded of being trampled by the stampeding platitudes, by public opinion who believe that unless we overhaul the system the “queue jumpers” risk overwhelming our social services and driving up unemployment.
Many political commentators have time and again criticized opposition leaders for being ineffective and for failing to mould a credible alternative leadership that the nation can entrust power with. Duh!!
I think it is reasonable to criticize opposition politicians who overstate their abilities while underestimating Harper’s.
