Let The Games Begin, Again
First of all an explanation for the absence. There's a new job and it's taken some adjusting to the schedule and the routine. My apologies. And now, on with the show...
The Conservatives are terrified of losing power. That was why they took the extended vacation. That is why they've introduced a budget full of gifts. Of course it's not really a Liberal budget as some are trying to suggest. It also included some money to their friends in the tar sands. While spending money in Alberta it takes money from Newfoundland and Labrador. It still tries to take away pay equity for women. It's as mean spirited and as partisan as ever, it just spends a lot more money doing it.
