what a farce.

as the last three governments have essentially downloaded or cut everything that there is to download or cut, the central messaging of the election campaign appears to be a humongous red herring. health care and education are responsibilities of the provinces, and most canadians know that. what the federal government funds is really left to defense and public infrastructure. so, are they running on increasing military spending?

the truth is that they think you're too stupid to figure it out. and, we've come full circle - this is flat out harperism; demagoguery at it's worst.

that's not to say that i care much about budgets. i don't. but, if you're voting for the federal liberals because you're concerned about cuts to education, you need to read up on how things actually get paid for. but, like i say, most people actually know this, and if they push this kind of cynical dishonesty for long enough it should backfire stupendously.

the truth is that this is a reflection of their record, or lack of one.
