oh and the cons put an AXE to a few things the liberals had in place including the 5 billion dollar accord for the aboriginal peoples, they in turn set aside 430 million for it. Mind you this accord was signed by all provinces and was pretty much good to go. Harper also put an AXE to the 5 billion dollar Kyoto plan, instead they came up with a " made in Canada " solution which no doubt will reflect what Bush is doing down south, ( Bush is not a big fan of Kyoto ). Flahrety said there is about 630million in surplus from the budget and that he " thinks " the cons have a good budget and there is enough surplus/flex room to avoid a deficit.

I for one am not impressed at this budget, the only bright side for me is the military getting some money but other than that you really have to look closely at this budget to understand it, it's kinda deceiving and relies HEAVILY on the GST cut.

For example the $500 tax break for kids in sports. It's only good for the registration fees and only if they exceed $500. This employment tax break that's for employed people for $1000. You won't get $1000, you have to find your tax bracket, enter a formula and figure out what you'll get back. It's not anywhere near $1000 :) The CBC was going on last night about these " tax breaks " and giving you the low down. It came off to me as a scam more than anything.
