Political views and news from a Canadian social-democratic perspective.
More analysis of the Budget in this article in the Toronto Star
Second, anyone who believes that 32 million Canadians can achieve more collectively than individually.
Third, anyone who thinks equitable social services are part of the glue that holds this country together.
Fourth, anyone who gets frustrated by the procrastination and leakage that occur when money gets passed from one bureaucracy to another.
Fifth, anyone who can't compete in the marketplace for child care, housing or a job that pays enough to support a family.
And finally, anyone who looks to Ottawa for leadership on the big issues facing the nation.

The only real worthy benefit that came out of this budget is the proposed RDSP, a savings plan akin to RESP's, but for children who are disabled.
Those who have witnessed the fear and worry of parents with disabled children, know the anxiety about the approaching years when they are no longer around to care for these children into adulthood and beyond. Something like this will help them in the long term.
On an aside, I especially like how the liberals presented their plan to increase the minimum wage to over ten dollars as their own .... and many think it is reasonable. Yet, when the NDP was fighting for this ... oh, just a month ago, it was going to be the collapse of the entire economic structure of Canada.
Sorry, had to vent, heard this news while watching the budget on tv the other day.
