Leader of the absent opposition
On October 24th 2007, Stéphane Dion and the Liberal Party helped Stephen Harper take Canada in the wrong direction - on the environment, on the mission in Afghanistan, and on the growing prosperity gap.
Just over twenty months ago, Liberals told Canadians to vote for them because they would oppose Stephen Harper. But given the chance to oppose him, Liberals ducked-out instead.
95 Liberal MPs put politics ahead of their principles and abstained on the crucial vote on Harper's Throne Speech.
Jack Layton and the NDP know what they stand for and whose side they are on. Each NDP MP was in the House of Commons and voted "NO" to Harper.
But these 95 Liberal MPs chose to let Harper get his way, just like they promised ordinary Canadians they wouldn't.
