federal governments: He had said its not the governments, especially not the federal governments, job to feed the poor the proper thing, rather, was what his government was doing, cutting taxes and thereby empowering families with more resources so they can feed their own children, according to The Chronicle Herald. Would that he had stood his ground and, for the sake of clarifying the argument, elaborated on it instead of backing off. We need a clear debate on this. Maybe the Harperites are getting cold feet and Before Christmas, federal Industry Minister James Moore got a ruckus going after famously proclaiming, Is it my job to feed my neighbours child? I dont think so. Qualifiers aside, the statement was ugly and he apologized profusely. For different reasons, many thought he shouldnt have, myself included. After all, what he had done, at the same time as he was bragging up the governments economic prowess, was to blurt out how the Harper government really feels about poverty and how to deal with it: the more wealth you create at the top, the more trickles down to the bottom, and the more government services you cut, the more taxes you cut as well, which also benefits the poor. In other words, ignore it. Case closed.
