A lot of people will still vote for the Liberals because (1) Harper's attack on political financing is exactly the type of neo-con assault on democracy that they always worried he'd carry into effect with a majority, and Harper just confirmed their fears, and (2) as I stated before, there is the potential here for the re-emergence of the Liberals under a new leader, with a new "willing to stand up to Harper" image.
Of course, on the other hand, you could be right.

The 30 Billion dollar stimulus plan is simply a way to siphon money into ontario and quebec, then watch the next one is some carbon tax scheme that will fund this subsidy. NEP part II.
In the mean time the 30 billion dollar waste of money stimiulates interest rates which is the exact opposite of what Canada needs. Other than that I don't see much of a big deal either.
