A. My first instinct is to say, friends of Tories get richer, and the rest of us get poorer. But you really want to know the planned expenditures for the coming year? Here's the Budget 2010 website from the web pages of the evil empire: If you're looking for actual dollars and cents spending on specific program areas, I don't know if you can get that kind of detail in budgets. You can get historical data from the Stats Can website.

A. I think you have the scenario backwards, my friend. The budget's timing hasn't changed. If M. Charest chooses to call an election before the budget comes out, thus depriving Quebecois voters of the opportunity to know the amount forthcoming from Ottawa, he's forcing them into making an uninformed decision.

Q. By The Canadian Press advertisement ottawa - Plans for an opposition coalition to replace Stephen Harper's minority Conservative government blew up in bitter disarray on Wednesday as Michael Ignatieff offered a novel way to let the federal budget pass. The Liberal leader announced that he will move an amendment to the budget which will require the government to table three detailed progress reports to Parliament starting in March. Ignatieff said the Liberals are prepared to defeat the government later should any of those reports show that the Tories have failed to implement some budget measures or that the budget has failed to stimulate the economy and protect jobs, as intended.

A. I think Layton is irrelevant he should go the people showed they did not want him as leader same with the Lib`s they have gone downhill since they forced out Chretien. The NDP are pathetic have not gotten near the votes they used to get back in the 70`s and 80`s. This coalition is a joke most people are not in favour of a NDP ,Lib,Bloc coalition. It takes three parties to try and get rid of one none of these parties have the leadership to win outright. The Bloc will always be a fourth party never more then that and until the NDP changes there way they will be a third party in Canada.

Is Obama the American version of the Chilean socialist Allende?
Q. source: Obama s ultimate goal, as he has said, is the nationalization of health care, with goverment eventually being the single payer. Following the Canadian and British models, it will be free in the sense the public schools are free. It will be paid for by hidden taxes. Both economic theory and history teach us that under such a system demand will skyrocket, which will in turn cause a cost explosion. Former Senator Phil Gramm s admonition fifteen years ago that there s not enough money in the world to pay for the Clinton health plan applies equally to the Obama health plan.

A. Collapse? Well, it isn't doing very well these days, and the housing market should be one BIG indicator for those who think otherwise. The foreclosure crisis will have profound economic effects in 2008. U.S. GDP will be $166 billion lower as a result, because new residential investment will be weaker, lowering spend- ing and income across the construction industries, and because consumer spending is cur- tailed as homeowners respond to decreased home equity wealth. Both of these spending impacts have multiplier effects across the economy as lower incomes decrease demand for other goods and services. As a result, there will be 524,000 fewer jobs created across the country in 2008. Homeowners will also see property values decline… [cont.]

A. You have a good point. Gates, the Sec of Defense seems to agree with you in some areas. The argument is not whether we should cut military spending but, how it should be spent. We are spending billions on weapons systems not suited for a war on terror or the expected wars of the near future. We need a new focus on the military. Rather than allowing spending to be controlled by the corporate defense industry, we should look at what the military needs to achieve its current and near-term objectives. We already have technology far exceeding any possible adversary. We should assess the needs of the military rather than the profits of the industrial-military complex. See Smedley Butler and Dwight Eisenhower.

A. See links. The Estimates is how much Govt departments plan to spend. It's based on actual spending bills in Parliament. The budget (2nd link) is an intention document, which may or may not prove accurate. Having worked in the Federal Govt for most of my career I can tell you that taxes get raised for various reasons. The first is inflation ... it cost more to do the same thing. But the main reason is because Canadians always want more services and never want to discontinue the ones they already have. That said, various Governments have made significant cuts at various times. For example, the Liberals made massive cuts in the 90's and actually reduced the deficit significantly over about a 10 year period. The Conservatives have undone… [cont.]
