But Ralph Bucks was stupid. Really, really stupid.
But if all people see of his tenure is public spending cuts and Ralph Bucks then they're missing the forest for the trees. Its just their personal narrative to say that public spending can never be cut...or else.

No for sure, I was like 15 when that happened and even I thought it was stupid. By any measure there was a lot of public good that money would have accomplished. It just has nothing to do with what's happening now, you know the current NDP policies are indefensible when people are invoking something that happened in 2005 instead of talking about the issues.
