Ya those 8 straight surplus budgets were hell to have to take over from.

That's why Harper made sure that when he handed over the country to the next guy Canada was running deficits.

You mean the deficits that he was forced to bring in under aggressive threat from the opposition parties who promised to bring his government down by way of a coup if he didn't comply with their demands to massively rack up "fiscal stimulus" spending? You mean those deficits?

Don't forget cleaning out the EI fund.... But at least Chretin had the good sense to offer the cash to his buddies in brown paper bags to help cut the tax burden
