The Harper government had its chance yesterday and seems to have brought down its version of an everything for everybody budget for Canadians -- by one count, 109 different goodies!
Today Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, the former Harvard University professor and writer has his turn at centre stage as he lets us know the intentions of his party. Will it bring down the Harper government by joining the NDP and Bloc Quebecois who have already said they were voting against it. Or will he present amendments to the Conservative plans -- the good old Canadian compromise trick in return for letting them stay in power.
If the government falls, Governor General Michaelle Jean will make what will likely be the biggest decision of her lifetime: call upon Ignatieff to form a government or call an election!!
Stay and please feel free to comment!
BULLETIN: CTV News Ottawa bureau chief Robert Fife, (a Chapleau boy, folks!) is reporting now that Ignatieff will support the budget with conditions. http://watch.ctv.ca/news/latest/the-day-after/#clip134181
