Majeres' Musings

All pundits having spoken,
Canadians backs already broken,
the government offers only a token
which will cost you one hundred bucks if a cop catches you.

All anyone is saying is that this budget spreads around all benefits to so many people its entireley diluted.  Add to that a lot of future committments which mean nothing, right?

The Liberals gain:

    a budget  that they can expand upon, as it appeals to the majority due to minority budget passing,  for the next election coming soon,

    a set of now knew Liberal Party values where all attacks against can be called extreme once again to develope fear against Harperites, and

    the ability to state the billions that the Budget backloads as todays' numbers for the upcoming election and yet they can claim it as their own regardless of how many times Harper says that the Liberals lied (Harper in House),  Harper will not be able to come close to the numbers due to his math sincerity,  so what sounds better, billions or millions?

    An overall gain for the Liberals which forces the Opposition Parties outside of an all Party encompassing Budget/Policies/Visions.   Next election the hearing of an opposition party member stating a policy or objective and hearing the liberals saying later, " yea, we had that in our last budget, don't you remember?  Or are you turning Liberal?"

    The Bloc Quebecois gain nor lose anything as they are so isolated until some kind of tipping point comes along.

    The NDP gain a little air time for the environmentalists as I can only associate them of late as  "Kyoto, Kyoto....Credits for hot air....Kyoto....".  Didn't do anything for me either.  The NDP could have done much better over the last 12 months, but blew it.

    The Conservatives lost this time rather largely which begs me to ask my cat, why?  First of all....money....do the PC's really have any money to combat an election in the next 2 months, I guess they don't at all.  So with no money and the Liberals knowing this could and did force the liberalized watered down conservative recomendations with just enough appeasment to the liberal end of the conservative voter.

    The Conservatives must believe right now that the Liberals are in better financial shape for an election.  Or is this a Conservative Bluff Trap?

Like I have said so far is that the next election will result in another Liberal minority government.

Oh Yea, The Voters Gain Nothing Agian.
