Well its the exact rationale that we saw during the federal election. The Liberals were going to hold the line on taxes and this was branded an increase because the CPC wanted to cut. Semantics to be sure, but the same premise.

It doesn't really matter what you call it though. Every party at this point recognizes that education (in particular) needs more funding and yet here we have a party looking to reduce the now current funding for a measly couple percent. Call it what you like, but its a straight policy issue I have with the Wildrose.
