Something About Humility

I thought that the last federal election would bring about some sense of humility within the Liberal party. As people we are supposed to learn from our mistakes, not repeat them. I guess the Liberal Party of Canada has chosen not to learn from their failure to win the election. The Throne speech put forward by the Conservative Party should have been no surprise to anyone. The points made, such as lower taxes and a different childcare initiative, were the exact same ideas the Conservatives ran with during the election. If a party runs on an election with certain promises, doesn't it make sense they would follow through with them? I guess as Canadians we've become accustomed to promises made during elections disappearing when the election is over. This is the mentality the Liberal's provided us with for so many years. Well, it turns out the Liberal's didn't like some points of Monday's speech.
"We will vigorously oppose this government if it acts
unilaterally to put forward legislation or adopts radical policies for which it
lacks a mandate," Bill Graham told Parliament.
It seems that the Liberal's still think they know what is best for Canada, even though they lost the election! Their loss should expose the fact that the majority of Canadians don't agree with Liberal policy! Why should the Conservatives be chastised for putting forth policy they said they would go with if elected? If Canadians were so opposed to these changes the Conservatives plan to make they would not have won the election.
