Feds Dump Result Of Their Bad Budgeting Onto Provinces
OTTAWA, TORONTO — Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, facing Canada's first budget deficit in more than a decade, said he will limit the growth of equalization payments to the poorer provinces.
You know, back in the early 1990s everyone was spending like drunken sailors. The Feds, the Provinces, the Cities. Everyone. And so it was only right that everyone was forced to tighten their belts. Now, however, the nation's precarious financial state is almost entirely the result of decisions made at the Federal level (GST cuts, anyone?). How just is it that places like Fredericton should pay for Jim Flaherty's deficit?
On the up-side, lots of potential for Tory-on-Tory violence as a result of this announcement.

Ezra Levant Say: Saskatchewan Like Cuba
In the midst of his latest ramble, which drifts in topic from Saskatchewan's problems to the perils of immigration, Ezra takes time out to praise Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall's vision for the province:
A Wall [election] win could trigger a massive re-investment and reinvigoration of that province. Think of what Cuba could be like if it were ever to throw off the Castro regime and welcome its wealthy expatriates back from Miami.
Well, I don't think Ezra is suggesting that Brad Wall would invite the elderly dregs of the Batista regime to Regina in the event of a Saskatchewan Party victory, but its a disturbing sentiment nevertheless. And if Mr. Wall shares Ezra's feelings about the residents of Saskatchewan (they're mind-controlled commie slaves), I hope he has the honesty to campaign on his beliefs come election time.
Far be it for me to tell my Saskatchewanese brothers and sisters how to vote, but if it were up to me, I would elect this guy. He's been seen around the province enough lately that he's gotta be running for something.
