Most people's issue with the CBC isn't the cost or programming, its the perception that its filled with partisan hacks with a Laurentian bend.
Overall I'll give the Liberals a pass on the budget. It's not as dramatic as the number seems and the percentage of GDP factor is key. Considering the massive drop in revenue, Jr. would have been forced to cut back on all his campaign promises. I hope we get good value for the money spent, particularly on FN issues. Maybe that will buy some social license for pipelines and other infrastructure, but I doubt it.
