The Federal Budget: What does it mean to British Columbians

Yesterday a short, stocky Irish man descended upon Parliament to deliver the message home. He dipped into the Liberal playbook and pulled out the deficit card. Yes the Conservatives are the new Liberals my friends.
It is with great disdain that I mention the NDP and Bloc immediately rejected the budget. One can only assume that Jack Layton is an even bigger asshat than once deemed by Money J.
