They should increase spending on what specifically? If your talking about infrastructure and other large scale projects that create jobs and help spark economic growth and activity, I agree.

But basically all we've seen so far is smiling Joe Ceci, borrowing $6 billion dollars just to cover government employee wages and operating expenses. Where are all these jobs the NDP are creating in the private sector?
