Here it is, my 500th post.
And just so I don't look stupid, I'm going to add something intelligent. It's 3:40 right now, so we'll see how long it really takes.
Canada's new federal budget calls for $14.3 billion in new spending with more than half of that paying for health care.
(A poll of canadians [and americans if they decided to go on a canadian news site for some reason] said that this was fantastic, but more money should be given to the military.)
Aislin's Opinion!--->
I may have heard this on the news, or not, but either way, here's what I think.
The Liberal Government knows their stuff, and the PM is being very careful to keep Lib's in power. Healthcare is what canadian's want, and they know that.
With the rediculous addition to spending, it's being spread out over so many things, nobody can say they're extremely unhappy.
So many things were covered, that for the Opposition to say anything about the budget, the liberals can simply say "Well, look here, to get that money you're going to have to give up [insert very long list of worthy causes here.]"
Voila. I'm posting at 3:47. So that was 7 minutes.
