There is now virtually nothing differentiating the Cons from the Libs. I could try to rationalize this in any number of ways if I *wanted* to continue supporting the Cons, but there's really no point.

I see you've conveniently forgotten that this budget was built on the advice of Canadians from all over the country, people who make budgetary, financial decisions on a daily basis. This is the first budget in history that truly was designed by the people instead of the Government.
You've also conveniently forgotten that any budget that didn't contain some form of stimulus was going to be voted down by the Liberals, handing the keys to Parliament over to a Socialist/Separatist/Liberal coalition. Where was the money for this stimulus supposed to come from? Should we have bombed a foreign country and stolen their oil to pay for it? Should we have raised everyone's taxes to pay for it? How about a 12% GST? Would that make you happier?
Even if you're the Government, money still does not grown on trees.
