Make up your mind, buddy!
Stephane Dion on the budget:
Mr. Dion said the budget does nothing for students, Aboriginals, single parents and middle class Canadians and increases the gap between the rich and the poor. The provinces are unhappy with it, and he also said it spends far too much.So Flaherty isn't throwing enough cash around -- and he's throwing too much. Logical. This is the type of sophisticated political rhetoric that wins elections.“The Conservatives said they would hold the line on spending. Instead, Jim Flaherty is now the biggest-spending finance minister in Canadian history,” said Mr. Dion.
With support of both the fiscal conservatives and the insatiable special interests, Dion can't lose.
