Conservatives are not responsible for your neighbour’s children. Your neighbour’s children will be paying off debts incurred by Conservative Ministers, however. Conservatives only feel responsible for your neighbour’s children when they street race, have sex, use drugs, or are bullied. Full bellies are definitely not their responsibility, unless it’s unsafe meat. Why don’t hungry children benefit from the government’s “rigor” to “meet consumers expectations”? Are hungry children not “consumers”?

One in seven children or about 121,000 kids in British Columbia were found to be living in poverty in 2008.
The poverty rate among B.C. children below the age of six during that year was 19.6 percent. This means that one in five in this age category didn’t have enough to lead decent lives.
That was in 2010. The rate is comparable to the USA at the time.
Now the rate is 1% less, at 18.6%. That’s ‘some result’, not ‘some great results’. Maybe Moore, discounting child poverty entirely in his estimation because it means little to him personally, meant “great” in the sense that it’s the greatest (highest) rate in the country?
The authors of the 2013 Child Poverty Report Card used the most recent economic data available from Statistics Canada to issue their “dismal” findings for British Columbia.
First Call says the number of poor children in B.C. in 2011 was 153,000 – enough to fill the Vancouver Canucks’ stadium more than eight times.
“The child poverty rate rose from 14.3 per cent in 2010 to 18.6 per cent in 2011,” said the report, which used the agency’s low-income cutoffs before tax as a measure of poverty.

I think we’ve sufficiently determined that Moore and the Conservative Party doesn’t feel responsible for poverty, it thinks the provinces are responsible. If you go to your local city council, in Regina they’ll say the province is responsible for homelessness issues. Clearly the buck stops at your provincial legislature?
Except child poverty on federally funded reserves is not a provincial jurisdiction. Try another talking point, Moore.
ADDED: Dave and RossK have more.
I too thought Moore was maybe not among the worst of the HarperCons.

Isn’t it truly amazing what happens when the script isn’t at hand, the only thing left is the stupid ideology that drives the knuckle dragging thinking of these overweight white guys in expensive suits. Would we have really expected anything different from Moore? Apparently he’s a “soft” reformer according to some, but in true entitled-bully fashion, he goes straight to deny and smear rather than apologize and commit to doing his job.
Moore uttered a Fordism, didn’t he? Before he uttered the real whopper?
