That may have been the greatest wrap-up of the budget I've seen ever.

I'm glad you liked it! You know it's crazy how the Conservatives talk all this about how this budget is for ordinary Canadians, but I searched like hell to find anything that would benefit the majority of people. What a smoke screen!

Hells yeah. Sudbury, what!? Largest French-speaking population outside of Quebec.

I have to disagree with what you said about the 697 million being a "pretty good start" on the national transit strategy that Miller is talking about. The Spadina subway extension is not a national, and is more of a political strategy than a transit one. I don't blame Miller for being unhappy with that part of the budget.

I agree with Iam. the 697 million is for the Spadina extension, not a regional transit system. Alas I digress. Show is steadily getting better. I like it better that its a little slower and not on a crack binge. The Dion jab was very very good Mark for that one. Again, steady improvement
