The theme seems to be "reduce operating spending, increase capital spending". We'll see how that will blow over with the opposition.

If the Conservatives don’t make it happen, their party may just get its own chance to fail to pass their first budget very soon.

Ha, well put.

We'll see how it all shakes out but if I were the Liberals, I think I'd be itching for this fight and a pretty good chance at taking a majority government.

Maybe I'm discounting partisanship, but I can't imagine Canadians would be happy about another election with America attacking us. (Also, while obviously sample size/anecodatal doesn't count etc my 2 angry Conservative friends seemed pretty content with the budget.)

The last month or so haven't been good for Mark's electability. He should really lay low a bit until the attack ad potential dies down. I'd hate to see more morons choosing Milhouse.

Honestly, I wonder how much of that last election loss was just we hated that guy so much. If I remember correctly, there was a yawning chasm between "approval for the Conservative party" and "approval for Poilievre."

But, there's so much in this budget for almost everyone that last month aside, I'd still happily put Carney out there blasting Conservatives for wasting Canadians time etc. But we'll see how it all plays out!
