Ignatieff termed the budget a "dumpster bill" and "an abuse of power" for, among other omnibus outrages, its provision to give the environment minister the power to bypass environmental assessments on major projects he wants passed. Then the Libs passed the dumpster bill, as they have every Con budget since

In fairness, the "every Con budget since Harper came to power" isn't accurate, as the 2006 and 2007 budgets passed with the support of the Bloc. But it may be all the worse that the Libs' excuse for opposition has only grown more feeble with time.
Wow, that's the shittiest news I've heard in a while. They never did separate the wheat from the chaff did they? So the cons have a green light to do all the things they've wanted to lately. Sell off the rest of the medical reactors to private hands etc.,etc. & etc.
Absolutely revolting.
Remind me, what is it we're supposed to vote for again?
This also begins the move towards undercutting Canada Post as they move towards privatizing it.
Who needs those pesky environmental assessments. After all, BP does just fine without those.
FUCK.
btw...love your blog Alison
