seems dubious to me. That we have a surplus of $13B should not necessarily mean that we cannot cut programs that aren't working. I'm not saying that the programs being cut necessarily don't work, but to suggest that cutting programs is contingent on needing money, is irresponsible and dishonest.
That said, the opposition does not have the monopoly on dishonesty. From the government's own news release:
Right, because Canadians marched to the polls chanting "Safer streets now, literacy programs never!"

Further to my Hindi-speaking telemarketer, they called again, and it turns out it's an automatic voice. Which, to me, raises a question. How do you (tersely or otherwise) ask them to remove you from their list??

What are you talking about, Percy?
With respect to the squawking over Conservative budget cuts. First off, the sentiment of the opposition, expressed by John McCallum:
To do these announcements of huge cuts to the least privileged Canadians at the same day you announce a $13-billion surplus, it tells you a lot about the Conservative frame of mind.

We have been able to reduce the debt, cut taxes and invest more resources in programs that are important to ordinary Canadians such as child care and safer streets.

what the freaken hell. this job appears to be a freaken joke. the guys that were supposed to do the work while we were gone, so that we could work again on monday when we returned did a couple of hours worth of work and then left. apparently there was almost a rod buster war. so instead of one crew of them leaving so the other could work, they both left. and my (probably former) boss decided not to call any of us and have us come in for monday anyways. yet he knew that nothing was done the day after we left. so, instead of being here for a few weeks, I may be back in time for wings tomorrrow, or I may be heading somewhere else completely.anyways, I am going to go find some sort of party tonight. maybe see you tomorrow!

Well, it finally happened. After months of telemarketers with Indian accents offering me long distance service (apparently because I am more likely to buy from a person with an Indian accent?), finally, just now, it has reached it's logical conclusion: telemarketers that just start out in Hindi.
I do not speak Hindi. Except, perhaps, the dramatic "NA-HEEEEEEEEE!" I've learned from Bollywood films. Somehow, I doubt it'll work, though; "no" hasn't ever worked before...
