Paul Martin recently made a statement in his election campaign against his and his party's largest rival, the Conservatives.

Included with the attacks on the Conservatives, Paul Martin made it clear that the Conservatives would do exactly what Paul Martin does. Working together with friendly corporations, opening Canada's border even more to foreign ownership and basically lead Canadians into uncertainties.

Are the Liberal and the Conservative parties in fact the same? One should look at the policies and history of both party leaders. Stephen Harper wants to open our borders to foreign companies, Paul Martin wants to improve ties with American counterparts and both leaders have a corporate history. Not unlike George Bush.

Paul Martin accused the Conservative platform of having near $50-billion shortfall, which would mean the reduction or elimination of government services. Martin and his predecessors have also cut back on social services, and driven our healthcare system into a costly hole. What's the difference between Liberal defecits and Conservative defecits? The voter will ultimately decide that.

Martin's charges range from one topic to the next. Speaking to audiences, Martin remarks "We would be smaller within our own borders," which brings us to the next question -- why Martin and his party has not rolled back costly agreements like NAFTA which allow large corporations the chance to buyout what’s left of Canadian businesses; both large and small.

If Paul Martin is so concerned about Canadian sovereignty, it's obvious his party was sleep walking when they allowed Lockheed Martin -- the world's largest weapons producer -- access to Canadians personal information through the Canadian census.

If you can see past the propaganda and daily speeches attacking each other, keep in mind that Harper and Martin are working together on the same frequency. It's just a matter of who gets power, money and rewards of working with corporate friends.

In his speeches throughout the election campaign, especially those of today, Martin has shown true hypocrisy. The prospects of a minority government -- should it become a reality -- might work in favour of Canadian politics.
