Prince George, B.C.- The Federal Budget will be delivered today and if Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s new shoes are any indication, there will be little change.
 
Yesterday, Flaherty had a pair of shoes “re-soled”, and told reporters he would be able to get another year out of them.
 
That could signal the budget will be a minor tweaking of what we have seen over the past couple of years.
 
The Minister of Finance is expected to rise in the House of Commons and start the delivery of his budget at about 1:00 PDT.

Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

sniff sniff sniff, smells like a set up budget to me.

Harper Government sends out a tight budget, a non confident vote gets passed, and wham, we get into an federal election.

If they do vote the budget in, Harper gets what he wants. Very sneaky, but clever.

Very clever indeed!
The poor old Liberals have an unelectable,lame duck leader,and Gassy Jack and the NDP are for sale to the highest bidder.
Harper can't miss.
One way or the other,he gets what he wants!
I don't particularly like the guy...but there is no doubt...he is a master politician when it comes to manipulating the opposition!
They fall for it everytime!

yep, it is amazing how easy it has been for Stephen. Too bad we have Dick representing us in Prince George, How much more would we be getting if we had an active MP.
