Cut government in half???? Stop it from growing first!

Truth is, nobody including Harper would like to have an election at this point so it’s all just a big show.
I agree with the Ignatief and Duceppe caricatures but not the Layton one. Can we have 2 cowardly lions?

Conservatives, faux or real, do well to give this op-ed by Andrew Coyne a full read: http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/0.....nt-budget/

Get rid of the CBC! CTV’s stellar Olympics coverage proved that there is no need for a public broadcaster in Canada.

Agree.

But I still want a government that will downsize (as in cut government in half or by a third), reduce spending, cut taxes and start whacking the Liberal shibboleths.

I know… I have to get off the bong.

Great post. This reminds me of how the opposition political parties repeat the same criticism for the benefit of our cameras.

The opposition is responsible to provide Canadians with an alternative government in waiting.

The behavious and refusal to insert any substantive policy for debate is bad for our democractic institutions.
