| Description | OTTAWA -- You can take the man out of politics, but you can't take the politics out of the man.
Paul Martin, ostensibly on hand to preside over the official launch of his memoirs, transformed the genteel, wine-sipping literary soiree with a feisty stump speech Monday night.
Not surprisingly, he cast himself in a starring role and the present government as the villains in a cautionary tale of how to cope with global economic turmoil.
"It makes absolutely no sense that the $12-billion surplus that we left to the Canadian people when we stepped down from office has now been virtually gutted and people are saying we're going to go into deficit next year," said Martin.
"A government that governs for tomorrow, and not just for today, makes sure that you don't go into deficit, that you leave yourself a cushion so that doesn't happen." |
