Budgets are confidence votes that require a majority of MPs to support it.
If you don’t want compromised budgets, then work to elect Conservative MPs in Liberal, NDP, or Bloc held ridings.
That's such bullshit. Harper could have done many things, like brought a budget out he did the first 2 times and still kept himself elected. Blowing 64 billion and not even one red penny for our military was inexcusable. Disavowing Hayek and embracing Keynes should have meant his resignation to find a party more suited to his limited grasp of economics.
I have no interest putting faux conservatives in my riding in power since they align themselves with the free speech Nazis.
