30 million bucks is nothing. It's a dollar for everyone. It's a hundred yards of some freeway in Toronto. It changes nothing. It's an insignificant amount of money that should not be bringing the whole goddamn works to a grinding halt as the bad news piles higher and higher.
Stupid-ass Harper couldn't have picked a worse time to pull this petty stunt. A couple years ago would have been the time to get into it. Even a year ago. If he didn't see this reaction coming, he should have. Whether or not they deserve the money, the Liberals and the NDP were not going to watch themselves be essentially bankrupted. They just weren't. We all know it.
It's a bad move and he should have seen it coming. The other clowns should have backed off when he did.
They all look terrible now. Every last one of them.

Agreed. They all look like buffoons in this debacle. I just wanted to gain a better understanding of how a cut of tax payer funding could get us to this point. I'm honestly quite shocked that the Liberals, NDP and Bloc would essentially be bankrupt if public funding was cut. Such a thing never occurred to me. Thanks to some answers from other posters, I now have a better understanding of the situation.
