Somewhere in his grim bunker, or his dank closet, Stephen Harper must be celebrating madly.
I'm sure he can't quite believe his good fortune. Or the way the bony hand of fate has saved him from almost certain defeat.
But war has been good for Great Leader, and after trailing Justin Trudeau for a year and a half, he has finally caught him.
Well as you know, I wasn't exactly impressed by Joe Oliver's totally political fiscal update, and by the way he is recklessly blowing the surplus.
To try to buy votes and leave no money in the cupboard, so the opposition can't make their own spending promises.
While also leaving no money for a rainy day should the economy take a dive, and oil prices keep tanking.
So I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that Ol' Joe, and his equally incompetent master Stephen Harper, could be leading us to DISASTER.
