We left the right wing party in way to long so they started spending and we had no where better to go. So while I'm not a fan of this budget I still think electing the NDP was the correct decision at the time. The right of center party will be back in 3 more years to take advantage of the tax increases imposed by Notely.
Exactly how does the next government 'take advantage' of a massive deficit, massive debtload, high unemployment, and a bloated public sector?

Issues like these don't just go away with a change in government.
