Gutsy fellows those lawyers, out of touch fellows those Progressive Conservatives
Is it just me or are the lines between the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives in New Brunswick getting completely blurred? Up is down, black is white, and insanity thy name is the PC Party of New Brunswick.
A couple of lawyers were looking to have their costs paid upfront by the government so that they can later SUE the government in a class action lawsuit in the Miramichi pathology case.
The government wisely and rightly said forget it.
Yet Conservative Bruce Fitch thinks taxpayers should pay the lawyers cost even though the lawsuit hasn't even been filed yet. The lawyers are supposed to put their own money upfront for class action and if they're successful, they'll undoubtedly get a generous cut.
Good grief Mr. Fitch. Opposition doesn't mean opposing common sense.
Somebody get the PC's a leader stat.

I'm scratching my head over this. Someone once told me that politics was simply the application of a vast lack of logic. This certainly doesn't prove them wrong!

It does if you're a p[art of the non-Common Sense Revolution led by Volpe.

Is Fitch a lawyer??
Perhaps those fellows don't believe their chances are very good at winning or they don't think they're very good, so they want payment in advance?
The common sense revolution was an Ontario idea... such a concept has yet to work its way East.
However, you could say we just bypassed that concept and went straight to a tax and spend Liberal government ... just like Ontario has now.

Yeah except in this case the Liberals actually did the right thing and the Conservatives are taking them to task for doing the right thing?!? It's a topsy turvy world in New Brunswick politics these days.

Your right.
The Liberals did do the right thing in this case. Those lawyers should hang their heads in shame.
(insert joke about lawyers not knowing what that is..)
