No room at the trough...

As Federal and Provincial Liberals sweep the Golden Sow Awards...
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation offered up its dubious golden sow trophies on Parliament Hill yesterday and named Liberal Sen. Colin Kenny as its national prize-getter for leading a $150,000 fact-finding defence committee trip to Europe.

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty won a lifetime achievement award for his election vow not to raise taxes and signing a Canadian Taxpayers Federation pledge confirming the promise. He introduced a new health tax in his government's first budget.
Wow... who could have seen this coming?
