Is Martin a "pyromaniac" ?

While campaigning on his economic record elsewhere in the country, in Quebec Paul Martin is attempting to make the election about national unity instead of Liberal corruption. Bernard Lord, Premier of New Brunswick has decribed Martin as a "pyromaniac" who was setting the unity fire and then asking to be the one to put it out. Others have expressed similar concerns.

It is known that Martin was not a big supporter of the Clarity Act when Chretien introduced it. Now he's wrapped himself in the national unity flag in an effort to hang on to seats in Quebec. Will this pay off for him?

How much more hypocrisy will Canadian voters tolerate? Martin has already delivered the most hypocritical speech of the campaign on global warming , worthy of the campaign's first Hypocrisy Award (see previous post).
