With borrowing as cheap as it is today there isn't really a better time, and particularly when you factor in the current state of the economy.
Add in that many of the projects are definitely needs, and you have a pretty effective policy. Its purely my opinion, but Mulcair screwed this policy up. He has to try to explain how he will pay for all the goodies he's promising, and honestly, no one believes that he can balance the budget. Its akin to Harper in 2008 when he also took a deficit off the table (which was forced back on of course).

I hope and pray Canadians don't buy what Mulcair is selling. His explanations of how he's going to pay for his promises don't add up. Sadly many Canadians don't think that way. Just imagine how many working parents will vote for the NDP soley based on his national daycare program.
