For all their talk about being fiscally prudent, Conservative politicians in Canada have more or less abandoned the idea of balancing the budget.

    He spent nearly 1/4 billion dollars so that we could buy 24 packs of beer at grocery stores a year earlier than they would have anyways.

      And still my dad thinks that the NDP would spend more and get less despite, ya know, the mountain of evidence that blots out the sun showing that that wouldn’t be true.

      No one knows government waste like a Conservative.

        That’s the great part about it

        The next government is going to have to pay the bill for all this and it will make Ford look even better

        Or banks can get involved and refuse to give loans to the next government
