Watch as Ralph Goodale tells a bald faced lie in parliament. Also watch as he, erroneously, calls Minister Jim Flaherty a liar. I think Ralph owed Jim and Canadians an apology.

John Baird, House Leader for the Government in the House of Commons, known as the Bull Dog, has made a grave error harming disabled Canadians. On Dec. 3, 2010, John Baird answered Liberal MP Ralph Goodale on why his government was not helping the Nortel disabled. He said retroactive bankruptcy law amendments were not legal and were not permitted under the constitution. The Nortel disabled prove him wrong in this video. However, in the spirit of Johnny Reid's hit song, "Today I'm Gonna Change the World," the Nortel disabled will accept John Baird's apology for his mistake. Post the election, we ask the new government to introduce a just solution for the Nortel disabled and the 1.1 million Canadians exposed to unsafe disability insurance at work.

"The choice for Canadians is clear: the Liberals, with a track record of fiscal responsibility and a plan to make strategic investments in lasting economic legacies, or the Conservatives, who spent Canada into deficit before the recession and want to waste billions more on prisons, untendered stealth fighters, and tax breaks for the largest corporations," said Deputy Liberal Leader Ralph Goodale, in a speech to the Economic Club of Canada. « Pour les Canadiens, le choix est clair : d'un côté, il ya les libéraux qui ont fait la preuve de leur capacité à gérer les finances de façon responsable et qui ont un plan axé sur des investissements stratégiques dont les effets sur l'économie seront durables, et de l'autre, il ya les conservateurs dont les dépenses avaient déjà plongé le Canada dans le déficit avant la récession et qui veulent gaspiller d'autres milliards pour des prisons, des chasseurs furtifs sans appel d'offres et des allègements fiscaux aux grandes sociétés », a affirmé le chef libéral adjoint, Ralph Goodale, dans un discours adressé aux membres de l'Economic Club du Canada à Ottawa.
