Harper Anxiety Attack

It's the end of summer. Most people are relaxed. Except Steven Harper, it seems, who is having an anxiety attack over "dysfunctional" parliamentary committees.

(I thought the conservative strategy was to brazenly sabotage the committees because regular Canadians don't pay attention to such things)

Anyways, I don't see why it would be necessary for the Leader of the Opposition to drop all his plans and jump on the next plane because Harper is having a freak out. I don't sense the urgency. Maybe Harper could make further explanations to the press...

Budget Surplus and Cancelled Ships

I wonder if the sudden federal budgetary surplus has anything to do with keeping up appearances for a potential snap election and this. Funds set aside for the Navy and Coast Guard 2.9 billion + 324 million must be reallocated. Announced on a Friday night at 8:30PM. Maybe no one will notice.

While propping up the budgetary losses in the short term, those same funds could even be promised during an election to some other potential pool of gullible Conservative voters.



(Then quietly cancelled a year later.)
