4 Years later, Canada barely balances it's budget

They did nothing for middle income people and the wealthy seniors did benefit most
seniors do not. Look at the Alberta election coming up, people are angry and if the
NDP does very well it could have a bearing on the Federal Election coming in the fall.
Incidentally for those ignoring the May 5th election it could show NDP with large seat
increases and the official opposition. Alberta is no longer safe haven for Tories

Looks like this budget hasn't changed their fortunes.

Poll numbers are still showing Liberals and Conservatives tied.

I haven't seen a poll since the budget release. You got link for one?

PCs are getting stronger every day... I see that the Dippers are closing in on Justine's Party too

As a "middle income" person I just had I wake up call recently as to how lucky we are in this country. Just the value of the medical care in hospital for 17 days and several costly procedures, I netted more in that time than I could repay in a lifetime! There is absolutely nothing that surpasses the value of good health.

Are you supposed to be a joke character?

 

[petros]

Far less a joke than a rapper. Yo yo.

That explains the huge chunk missing out of my pay cheque.

If you subscribe to the accuracy of the pollsters, then the numbers indicate that Justine is on a downward slide whereas the PC and NDP are the net beneficiaries

Manitoba is heavily shifting away from both NDP and Liberal. They want in on the Prairie prosperity like SK and AB.

Granted, but in terms of percentage, PC support has remained the same, not gone up - even if the current split benefits them.

Absolutely, however, that is based on the current polls being an accurate reflection of what is to be.

I have mentioned in the past that I do not have faith in the polls and this has been supported by the poll predictions as compared to the final results in a number of Provincial and Federal elections past.
