Are you saying that the Globe is making this up ? If you are in Ottawa then you would know that information leaks out all the time, which is why papers have Ottawa bureaus. In your previous posts you gloss over the fact that past Liberal governments have either raised taxes, downloaded services to the provinces or made substantial cuts to existing services. There is no magic here, money has to come from somewhere, and since their election, various groups have looked at the Liberals promises and expenditures and have all arrived at the same conclusions. All the cheerleading in the world and all the delving into the past to deflect away from the present, won't change the fact that governments eventually raise money through taxation to cover excesssive spending. The fact that it is happening so soon in their mandate is a little unusual.
