The problem is, with all of the pressure from the coalition for stimulus package, i see no way the conservatives are going to stick to their "prudent fiscal policy." Did anyone see the Globe and Mail article this morning about Ottawa losing $6billion in revenue this year as a result of the slumping Oil inudstry? (sorry, no link...who reads the physical paper anymore anyways???)
$6billion is no small potatoes...can you say DEFICIT??? It doesn't matter who's in charge, things are going to get ugly!
