“Flaherty’s budget is a limp noodle”

John Ibbitson is absolutely right that we are missing a tremendous opportunity being so out of synch, politically, with the Americans.

If politics is a car, Stephen Harper knows the Canadian public will not put up with any backwards motion, but by God, he’s got his hands on the emergency brake and he’s not letting up.

Obama or no Obama, there will be very little in the way of progressive politics for Canada until we get a new PM – maybe even a new government.
