Gosh. What a difference a day makes. The other day I was lamenting that an Abacus poll seemed to suggest that enough Canadians had liked the Con's porky budget so much they had given given Stephen Harper a big boost.
But now an EKOS poll suggests that while nobody is complaining about being bribed.
The budget hasn't moved his numbers.
It was a frightening sight, and for a moment I thought Stephen Harper had finally gone off the deep end.
For there he was, on the day when he was supposed to be celebrating the launch of his new budget, screaming at the opposition, waving his arms around wildly, trying to explain why he's trying to bribe the rich.
While simultaneously trying to shrug off what Oily Joe Oliver had to say about his granddaughter.
It is without a doubt one of the most irresponsible statements I have ever heard, and it comes courtesy of the old Con zombie Joe Oliver.
Who not content with delivering a smoke and mirrors budget worthy of a Con artist as I pointed out yesterday.
A so called balanced budget which is intended only to give them an excuse to try to buy the next election, by bribing some of the wealthiest Canadians.
Now says take the money, suck it up, and let future generations pay for it.
It won't happen of course, not in this corrupted Harperland, where decency goes to die.
But if there was any justice, Boss Harper, Oily Joe Oliver, and the rest of the Con mob would be in a police lineup.
Preparing to be charged with crimes against democracy and electoral fraud.
For conspiring to bribe voters, and trying to con Canadians into believing that what they presented us with yesterday was a budget.
When in fact it was nothing more, as John Geddes points out, than a 518-page campaign pamphlet.
Well let's put it this way, his PMO handlers did their best to turn it into a glamorous photo-op, but it wasn't exactly Cinderella slipping on her dainty glass slipper.
And it wasn't pretty.
It was just Ol' Joe Oliver, pulling on his new pair of Made in America, New Balance running shoes with Con blue laces.
But as bizarre as that spectacle was, it did mark the beginning of Stephen Harper's final push for another bloody majority.
