Well its one of the spending points in the budget, $500M to a Canadian Venture Cap. Association. I suppose the government giving money to a private group who then invests the money somehow (?) absolves the CPC of being involved?
Fact is, this government brought down a completely non conservative budget for the 5th or 6th time in a row. The cuts aren't major and they are still spending way more than any Liberal government ever has. They are purely banking on economic recovery because there is no control in the government itself. Not only will they not cut, but its tax credit after tax credit. The worst way to redistribute wealth and they're addicted. The oversight needed for these programs is way more than a simple reduction in taxes (which I would disagree with, but at least it would be sensible)
Some will point to point to the reduction of say 20,000 workers and yes, that sounds huge. Harper has added 31,000 though.
Unbelievable that Canadians fell for this sham of fiscal conservatism.
