I'm not over-looking anything. Of course I remember about the Sponsorship Scandal, the Gun Registry, etc., and I even acknowledged as much in my post ("Was there also wasteful spending? Absolutely there was").
Many of you don't see the forest for the trees, though. It's an indisputable fact that under Chretien/Martin, the Liberals balanced the federal budget and turned in seven consecutive surpluses. I'll never claim that they were perfect stewards of the public coffers (no party ever is), but they did a damn sight better than the governments of Mulroney, Trudeau, and their other post-war predecessors.
