Budget (bad) News…

We are hearing disturbing news about Tuesday’s upcoming budget from the Shawn Graham Government. Job cuts, program and service cuts, 2 year wage freezes, an $800 Million deficit, with record property tax and electricity rate increases. This is terrible and all quite unnecessary. Unnecessary if the government had of planned and managed the finances of the province properly over the last 3 years. This government has let us all down. 3 years ago this government was the only jurisdiction in North America to raise taxes across the board. This hurt our economy and our business growth. Now, this government is running a larger deficit per capita than any other jurisdiction and is the only place talking about government job cuts and program cuts. This at a time when people are hurting the most. The government has been inconsistent in policy with no clear direction, except backwards. Saddling our children with more debt is not the answer. It is a cop-out and irresponsible
