This is a big day. If the Federal Conservative Party can actually convince the nation through today's budget that they are better at rolling out the Liberal agenda, they may win the election that the Liberals may force by voting against the budget. It will be interesting to see if the tiny and …

A while ago I got greased out - there is simply no other word for it...as shocking as that is - for suggesting that Canadians could more troops on the field in Afghanistan.
