Swing and a Miss!
How transparent is the Conservative’s budget? Well not only is the National Post calling it for what it is, a blatant vote-grab, but even the Canadian Free Press is rejecting it. If you can’t win that crowd over, then you’re not doing a good job of being Conservative.
The federal government’s budget introduced by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is a bald-faced attempt at buying a majority in Parliament, while it sells out the so-called Conservative principles that the Harper government espoused prior to becoming the government. It’s almost as if some disease afflicted whatever party might happen to gain the upper hand that causes them to become profligate taxers and spenders.
