Now the question is what would you be saying if Dion had won the election and/or a coalition had taken control and we ended up with the same 50+ billion deficit.
I have no illusions that every single con on here would be vilifying them with all kinds of rants about socialism, tax and spend, etc. Are you going to tell me you would be so forgiving if Dion were running the deficit as you are for Harper?
If his deficit was related directly to the stimulus package, that would be reasonable in my eyes. I think that Canada, as well as all the other Nations I noted above, did the right thing by offering a stimulus package to jump start the economy.
As many other nations have done, the stimulus package was necessary and, according to the bank of Canada, is one of the leading reasons we're coming out of the recession so quickly.
Dion and the coalition would have been correct in offering a stimulus package to Canadians.
