NDP called hypocrites

By STEPHANIE RUBEC, SUN OTTAWA BUREAU

OTTAWA -- Spending watchdogs yesterday charged the NDP with failing to hold their financing standards to the same level they've demanded of the governing Liberals.

Adam Taylor, research director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, called the socialists hypocrites for being highly critical of parties that welcomed large corporate donations while raking in $3.5 million from unions in late 2003 to buy a three-storey office building in downtown Ottawa.

"They are against corporate money but seem to be for union money," he said.

Hmmm..., not suprising really. Kinda explains why Jack needed to call Buzz Hargrove to get his seal of approval on the budget deal with the Liberals. These are always the interesting little details that they forget to tell dues paying union members.

A vote for the Jack Pack might as well be a vote for Buzz Hargrove. So Buzz, why don't you run?
