Pot Calls Kettle Polkadot.

Tragically
HypVille


The Alberta division of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is steamed at one of provincial political parties.

And it is not the Alberta NDP:

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on the United Conservative Party to pay back the federal wage subsidy in light of the fact that 20 provincial parties across Canada have turned down the money.

“The United Conservative Party ran on being the party that would look out for taxpayers, but now the UCP is helping itself to tax dollars meant to support struggling Albertans,” said Franco Terrazzano, the CTF’s Alberta Director. “Premiers John Horgan, Scott Moe, Brian Pallister, Doug Ford and François Legault all know that taking the wage subsidy is wrong and it’s time for Premier Jason Kenney to pay back the subsidy.”...



Gosh.

Does this mean that all those rabid Wrexiteers on the Twittmachine will now subtract the UCP's amount from the eleventy kabillion dollars they say they are owed from the federal transfer pool?

Interestingly, while the fine folks from the CTF note that the BC NDP didn't take the subsidy they assiduously avoid mentioning that the party still led by Rachel Notley also did not....Oh, and just in case you were wondering, the free enterprise party of BC has applied for the subsidy (pdf).
