I'm not saying that he should leak the whole budget, but telling Canadians at least in a general fashion how it will work in terms of the special precautions/actions that will be taken as they pertain to the recession would not be that radical of an idea. Like I said, a lot of countries have already done this and didn't have to wait for their next budgets.

He doesn't know yet...jeezuz...how could he when he is just getting the recommendations now...as well as waiting to see what happens in the USA. Like or not if Canada does anything in opposition to where they go (USA), that money is nothing but dust in the wind to prop up some overblated pension somewhere or in a job creation scheme that will end up with a bunch of people making things for a market that does not exist.
ANd no...other countries DO NOT have a plan yet. Hell other than Citibank, the uS still doesnt know who is going to get what money. They arent even sure that the auotmakers will get bailed out yet, nevermind who gets what.
Fanny and Freddy will get releif, no question, but beyond that......

This is exactly where I have a departure from sympathy for Harper. He knew what he was doing in trying to cut the funding for his opponents. He knew full well that these subsidies were the lifeline of the other parties. I think that this was a calculated gamble on his part
