A Spring Election?

More speculation in the press than ever on a spring election, and I've been asked what I think.

It won't happen.

Dion's emasculated, but the Tories are running on empty. No legislative agenda, nothing. Just billions getting poured out to well-connected business, some very marginal tax cuts (despite billions in surplus - and billions to come), a muddled and dumbed down environmental plan that completely accepts anthropogenic climate change, and more than $1.5 billion in program spending on biofuels - an energy form that increase emissions, and will transfer fuel price volatility into the food sector.

Now, the Libranos were/are crap in policy. Mainly of the victim culture/make a dependent vein.

How exactly does the CPC agenda differ? If it were Libranos in government versus the Tories during the past two years: the answer is none.

With the sole exception of Afghanistan and the Wheat Board, nothing is much different...whoop...sorry - even those remain the very same.

On the other side, even the Libranos could not have pulled off the national child care policy - that was too wonky even for them.

But after all, nothing is really different after 2 years of our kleptocrats versus their kleptocrats. And the longer it goes, the more Flaherty Contracting Practices will emerge.

Nope - the only thing that will trigger an election will be the Librano's desire to get rid of Citoyen Dion - and this budget will likely be mush - nothing to jump through the hoop for.
