The Spin

The opposition parties are making completely unreasonable demands on a budget they haven't even read, threatening government stability just six months after Canadians elected this Parliament. Conservatives are setting impossible deficit targets they know can't be met while the Bloc has already eliminated any possibility of support. Canadians want certainty and results through a budget that will create a more prosperous and resilient economy, not reckless political games that could force an unnecessary election.
