Budget thoughts

Liberal finance critic John McCallum refused to tip his hand following the budget.

He said Liberals clearly welcome major expenditures on infrastructure, but want time to go over the details, such as whether or not federal funds are guaranteed.

"Some of the things were in the direction we would have gone, others are different," Mr. McCallum said. "I think we will look at this through the lens of the government's past behaviour on deficits. For example, just a couple of months ago they told us they were in surplus. Today we see a $15-billion deficit already before taking a penny of action. So that's a concern."

What's with McCallum and Iggy's qualified comments? They are so neutral as to be nearly meaningless. I honestly can't tell if this is a sign that Iggy is irrelevant or a master strategist (as I said just now over here). Any idea?

Take Harper out, when you can.

Give us 18 months of a government that genuinely is concerned about the well being of all Canadians, and not a government that has ONCE AGAIN REVEALED it is genuinely only concerned about the well being of themselves.
