In other words the budget is what it is. Boring, stay the course with little handouts for all kinds of demographics. The government was brought down though because they were either deliberately misleading parliament or committees, refusing to testify at committees, etc. These are important things. Frankly whether a volunteer firefighter somewhere gets a cheque from the government is totally meaningless. Making parliament so that it can't work though, when you are claiming to be the rightful governing party is ridiculous. How CPC supporters can somehow breeze past that point makes me shake my head.

this is exactly the question about this election. do canadians care more about the things in the quote, or do they care about a "boring" budget and the economy?
i don't care that a stacked opposition committee didn't get enough information; i do care that there were no new taxes and that canada's economy continue to recover and imo the budget was going to do that.
we will see what canadians think in may.
