Opposition parties are threatening to vote down this week's much-anticipated Conservative budget because it contains a potentially contentious proposal to permanently slash taxes for middle-class Canadians.Yeah... holy crap... who'd be in favour of that?
But hey... it gets better... "they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast"...
Meanwhile, NDP Leader Jack Layton said Sunday that he is still in talks with his Liberal counterpart, Michael Ignatieff, about toppling the Tories this week and installing an opposition government, which would be supported by the Bloc Quebecois.Yeah Jacko... you keep tellin' yourself that.
"We have stayed in touch, and I think there is a fundamental desire for change and optimism," Layton told Question Period.
