Sorry, but when there are not many programs that provinces can cut, what's left is the important programs. Or do you really think that health and education would be the first that provinces would cut? lmaoMartin cut transfers to the provinces - over which the feds have no control over where they spend it. The provinces could have raised to taxes, or cut spending, to cover this reduction. Instead they cut education and healthcare. That was THEIR choice - not Martin;s,
Are they also to blame for the nice gifts that Martin afforded his rich buddies? Are the provinces to blame for Adscam and Shawinigate? Are the provinces to blame for Martin fundraising for terrorists? Are the provinces to blame for Martin switching registries of his ships over to another country in order to avoid paying higher Canadian taxes? All just in order to balance the budget. That's just lovely.Since they had no political back-bone I'm not saying he's blameless - but local Provincial governments are just as much - if not more - to blame.
Face it, the guy is a rich weasel who hasn't a clue about an average person's life and doesn't give a crap about who he hurts as long as he got his votes and clung to power. Him and Harpy make a great pair ....... for sewer scum.
