Remember the other day when I pondered whether there would be a conservative backlash against Harper’s big spending budget? Well apparently the answer is yes.

Ignatieff Played it Right
I said yesterday that I thought the budget should be defeated in total, and I still don’t like it, it’s a bad budget. I also know though that I am in the minority in this. Most of Canada does not want an election and does not like the coalition idea. Ignatieff was right in that…
