Budget delay shameful Shame on Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Finance Minister Joe Oliver for postponing the federal budget. The old adage that when the going gets tough, the tough get going can hardly be said to apply to the Harper Conservatives. Their motto seems to be when the going gets tough, go hide. They decided to hide out for a couple months in the hope that while they do nothing, the economy will right itself. This approach is ironic considering how the Conservatives saw fit to ridicule Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau for saying that budgets balance themselves. And speaking of the Liberals and budgets, let’s remember that for the last nine years the Liberals were in power the budgets were balanced every year and the national debt decreased in each of those years. Since taking power the Conservatives have run a deficit in every year but one, and the national debt has ballooned almost 30% to $673 billion dollars. Ron Hodgins St. Marys
