It sure sounds like an election is close. Fast Eddie and the gang have been making all kinds of promises and commitments for our money the past few days.
The budget is slated to come down on Feb. 14, but Fast Eddie doesn't want a financial blueprint with Finance Minister Lyle Oberg's fingerprints on it since Oberg isn't seeking re-election.
As suggested, Feb 4th is the favourite guess for the announcement. That's when a new session of the legislature begins. The government's throne speech will be the tory's election platform. It's an hour of free airtime. Once the speech is made, the election is called.
