For the second time in three days, a prominent Conservative politician has labelled the Liberals “pyromaniacs”, a label sure to incense Paul Martin and his party.
This past Tuesday, NB premier Bernard Lord slammed the Liberals, arguing “they’re like pyromaniacs with the matches and gasoline in their hands, they light the fire and then say, `Oh, let us put it out,’”
Riding the wake of these comments, Stephen Harper addressed a small crowd of supporters in Montreal Thursday night. “Having tarnished the reputation of federalism in Quebec with their corruption, federal Liberals on national unity? It’s like sending a pyromaniac to be a firefighter.”
Meanwhile, it’s Ralph Klein’s Conservatives in Alberta that are most likely to actually burn down the house.
