Comment: Trust this Liberal government to always find others to blame for any  boondoggles, bungles, bumph, burglary and balderdash committed in its name and on its watch.

Half way through their term, they still blame the Harper government for most things that go pie shaped.  

When that is not plausible, they target Trump, the opposition, premiers like Wall and Pallister, the Reform Party of 2001, and now their own bureaucrats.

It is past time for this PM and his ministers to put on their long pants, step up to the plate, acknowledge mistakes and take responsibility for them.

This taxing of employee discounts to low income servers, clerks and others is a kamikaze move thought up by politically inept bureaucrats.

If ministers had hired sufficient senior, seasoned, competent political staff, these kinds of cockamamie ideas would be identified and scotched by ministerial staff long before reaching and alarming the public.

Can anyone imagine this disaster getting by Jim Flaherty's folks?
