How much was projected out to 2014-2015 (that isn't also in the Tory Platform)? Not much by my recollection... the biggest ticket item that the press characterized as an NDP incentive was $400-million to extend home energy retrofit grants but that was only for the upcoming fiscal year and didn't extend into 2014-2015 or 2015-2016 IIRC. One way or the other he was being dishonest either in the budget, in the platform, or both.
It's pandering voodoo economics. That or Stephan Harper has turned into a time-travelling illusionist that can make $8,000,000,000.00 appear out of thin air.
