Elizabeth May: Prime Minister's Office Full Of 'Ruthless, Cutthroat Psychopaths'
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May doesn't mince words.
And she's clearly no fan of the concentration of power in the Prime Minister's Office.
The British Columbia MP made waves by using some colourful language at a Nanaimo town hall last week to describe the government staffers behind Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
According to Metro's Luke Simcoe, May called the PMO a "$10-million-a-year partisan operation filled with ruthless, cutthroat psychopaths."
May later explained to Metro that the comment was made in jest but did not back down from what she sees as an attitude in the PMO that puts the interest of the party in charge ahead of Canadians.
"The staff at the PMO have no allegiance to anything other than getting the Conservative Party re-elected. And they feel entitled to tear strips off bureaucrats at all levels of the system," she said. "It completely offends the principles of parliamentary democracy."
