Patrick Faber, UDP Senator
"The deputy prime minister got up in the House and spoke a whole lot of nonsense about no new taxes. Well that has got to be nonsense when the bus rates are going up. And I told them in the budget debate, gas prices are up everyday, no new taxes, but you have to pay $2 more in gasoline. No new taxes but the gas that we cook with costs a whole dollar more."
"I don't know what world they live in but the world that I live in because I go to DK, I go to the shop on the boulevard, I go to New Moon in Ladyville, I go to UMall in Ladyville. And when I go there to buy my little groceries, I go to Sky because I live in Lord's Bank, when I go there, the things that I used to be able to buy, I cannot buy anymore and that's because I have a decent job, thank God I have a profession to return to, screw whatever anybody else had to say. And I get a very minute stipend in the senate for everybody who think we're rolling large, it ain't so. And I am telling you to go and buy anything in the supermarket right now, everything went up."
